In Response To: Re: Blessed Are The Workers! (poenadare)

: And since my company would have health coverage with no co-pay, Iron Man
: would be free to seek help for his alcoholism and anger management.

: ---

: You laugh about communism but I had a rude awakening.

: Back in 91 I refereed to the 5 women in our warehouse that stuffed disks into
: Talking Moose boxes as "peons." They heard me and I hurt their
: feelings.

: About a year later *I* made a mistake while compiling a new phrases file for
: a Moose update and it was in 5,000 boxes before I caught the mistake. The
: women that my company depended upon for manual labor were all gone for a
: long holiday weekend. Two sales guys and I had to break down all those
: boxes, redupe the disks, and build 5,000 new.

: Nobody at the company would let me live the incident down and I don't blame
: them.

: After days of cardboard papercuts I came to the realization; when you take
: the long view, everyone's job was equally important in making the company
: GO.

: So here's a toast to the workers from a fellow peon.

I was being ironic, but I guess that doesn't translate well to text in this case.
