Dear Whiners,
This company is our birthright. It's income is ours. We choose what to share with our employees. That's right, our employees. We own your sorry butts. Let's get this straight, you work for us and we pay you what we want to pay you and you work here at our pleasure. Here's an uncomfortable reality for you: we demand a certain return on our great, great grandparents' investment. If "One" Follett isn't delivering that return, we can sell it and invest all of our money somewhere else. In order to meet that criteria, we have been taking more of your money through pay cuts, personnel cuts, taking benefits, cutting careers "short", etc. You see we put that money in our bottomless pockets. If you'd work harder and be more innovative, our company would earn us more money so we could leave you alone. So you see, it's your fault. So, quit whining and get back to work. You don't need to work 60 hours 7 days a week (while getting paid for 30 hours), but try to work 65 hours in 6.5 days. Work harder and smarter. Make us proud. By proud we mean rich. By rich, we mean richer. Breaks over losers!
Signed
Folletts, Litzingers and all the rest of the entitled few.
