Misha writes "Fortune.com is publishing a list of 100 Best Companies to Work for. Quite a few tech companies, with a few semi-startups, like Xilinx, who 'protected its employees from a nasty downturn in the industry by refusing to abandon a no-layoff policy. Workers took a 6 percent pay cut, but the CEO led the way with a 20 percent cut.'"

    Workers took a 6 percent pay cut, but the CEO led the way with a 20 percent cut.

    Of course he still ended up making an order of magnitude more than the workers. This is the kind of thing we wouldn't have to worry about if programmers were unionized.

    thats pretty arogant.
    How do you know where this person lives? for all you know he lives in an area where it cost 2000 a month just for housing. between that and taxes, they don't have much left. God Fodbid they have kids.

    And it is not always easy/realistic/ to 'Just Move'.

    So don't judge other people by there damn post, JackAss
