4. Oh yeah--forgot to add the execs are getting a 7.5% across the board bonus

For their cost cutting measures. Lining their pockets on the backs of workers who have been with the company for over 20 years, some over 30 years.

They are trying to blame COVID so they can get around the WARN act. But if it's budget related, why the 7.5% bonus?

Then you've got Southwest, the other side of the coin. The CEO not taking a salary, 20% salary cut to upper execs...all in an effort to prevent layoffs. And THAT is why Southwest is so successful. Smart employers realize that their employees are their greatest asset. Treat them fairly and they will go that extra mile to do all they can to make the company successful.
