OK, that's a step in the right direction. Now let's go for wage cut and some big-time layoffs. http://money.cnn.com/2010/11/29/news/economy/federal_pay_freeze/index.htm?hpt=T2 ![]()

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

I wouldn't worry about getting too technical with it. A good manager will make sure that all his guys get more money with either a step change, or a grade change or a new job description. A bad manager will blame the low pay on something beyond his control. The politicians will claim credit and give out blame. |
