The auto parts company Delphi is asking for their non-management staff to accept 50-69% pay cuts, (these workers were described as being basically worthless in a speech the CEO gave two weeks ago) while the managers that have presided over the company sliding into bankruptcy are going to get massive raises.
Well this does make sense.. They need experienced managers who know the company well to keep things running. Those same people are probably beginning to look for employment elsewhere, and the raises will help keep them around. And because of the bankruptcy, they would probably have to offer even higher salaries to lure in replacements for those who do jump ship. OTOH, the non-management employees are easier to replace.
I'm not saying it's nice or fair, but there's a reason for it beyond greedy executives trying to screw over the little guy.
Bad meme! If you treat it as a training issue, you're dodging the responsibility. As has been said upthread, spam is theft. It steals our CPU cycles and our bandwidth. People like you stuffing your head in the sand and ignoring the problem only help the spammers win.
You're not getting it-- if it wasn't for the idiots who buy things from spam e-mails and thereby make it a profitable venture, spammers would have no incentive to bother in the first place.
I'm not proud to say that I worked for an ISP that I found out was also a major spam operation soon after I began working there. I didn't agree with what they were doing and as a reult I didn't stay there very long. But I saw the reports from spam campaigns, and there's no denying that it was VERY profitable.
