About the money....some companies are just CHEAP! When I worked for British Airways they nickeled and dimed their employees so much until everyone just about hated them! It looks like they would notice that unless you pay employees well....those employees are going to have low morale and not work as hard for you....not to mention LEAVE as soon as they can find employment elsewhere.
About the stupidity......those people keep spawning and creating more. They are taking over the world at an alarming rate!!!!
nickeled and dimed = An American phrase?
