Fired Via Instant Message

JThaddeus writes "Yahoo! news reports that South Korea's third-largest credit card issuer, KEB Credit Service, fired 161 people--a quarter of its workforce--via mobile phone text messages. Hey, at least they got told, right? Afterall, they could have been like Milton."

    You're fired. And at least it's better you read it in a comment than by IM.

    Sorry. I screwed up on the formatting. The first line, the speaker is (bigboss_22) and the second is (mikie_49). It alternates every line.

    In the USA, the vast majority of people on minimum wage now will not be on it in a year. I am a 17 year old. I used to get paid minimum wage. So did most of my friends. We get raises after a few months. The only people on minimum wage are those who are new employees (usually teenagers), or those that are too lazy to get a raise. There is no need to keep increasing minimum wage every few years. Several of my friends were left unemployed after these "raises", as their employers could no longer afford to stay in business. I prefer to be paid a little and still have a job, rather than get a raise and lose it.
