... that has helped them work with a smaller work force, who is made more efficient (and should be worth MORE when harnessing technology to turn out more product and services).

But they just reward higher level management with more pay or stock options instead of those who DO the work to give them this advantage that they use to just lay people off and not raise their pay. And us IT folk that do this work have our jobs outsourced through BS "Free Trade" treaties or H-1B Visa hires, to the point that our salaries are reduced and more of us than ever are just contract workers instead.
