But it all ended when the crooks/grifters took over the boards of companies, many of which have the same person/grifter sitting of various company boards. They figured why share because they could keep the money for themselves. Yea it was a frog in the hot water effect. As we slowly lost the bonuses, many excuses were made of why no bonus this year, then we saw our hours increase without a pay increase. Then the same board members figured a way to not pay overtime.
