Americans need to STOP being "thankful" that they have a job

15. I agree

So true. Where I work, no union, so we take what we can get. No raises in years. Benefit cuts. About a year and a half ago, the pension was ended and a new 401K offered. The company contribution to the pension used to be 7%, now it is 3% match. Last year was the first full year of the 401k. Stock market was down, so everybody lost money. This on top of the reduction from7% to 3%, a 4% pay cut in effect. Workers had no say in any of this. Like it or get out. Those are your choices. I agree with the original poster, this "you are lucky you have a job" line has gotten old.
