Show-Me Pocket Change

The Furlough

A friend of mine, I’ll call her Ruth, works for a large corporation in a job she loves and is challenged by. She does performance audits and helps her St. Louis area branches learn efficiency, protocol and then keeps them in check.

The company has had to discontinue 401k matching and often decreased hours for hourly employees in an effort to save jobs. My friend remarked that she was glad they were working hard to keep from laying people off, and that she would be willing to get a little less if it meant her coworkers (or herself) would keep their jobs.

Wouldn’t it be great if your government felt they could do with less if it helped save a job?
