    seems like socialism to me...(although the suggestions so far seem pretty harmless, maybe non-socialistic. I just don't like the road that this seems to be going down.)

    well if you look at how our welfare state works you would realize that it tends a purpose, not to improve the lives but to keep them in the state that they are in and if not worse.

    edit:800 posts! and of course they just pulled up some homeless guy, the picture doesn't matter as much as the statement.

    seems voluntary, so I'll go with generosity. although that might be going to far, as the higher up workers will benefit by the lower ones not getting fired (even tho they will lose some dough/bennies). if they feel they made a fair trade so be it

    this is spot on, notice voluntary

    if my hospital were faced with this, say take a 5% cut to keep ancillary staff it would be a no brainer. i couldn't imagine what a hospital would be like with short staff housekeeping and aides.
