Two things in response.
My original reaction ( I know I'm not an archaeologist so what do I know???) was too "breaking" a company comment. Also my alleged "total lack of sympathy" was un called for.
I personally was thinking about the company who also needs to put food on his plate, has a family to feed and also has the responsibility to find work for those whom he employs.
Have you ever been an employer... or have you always been employed??
I once had 25 people working for me... the stress and responsibility for making sure each one was happy, and did his work to a satisfactory standard would be more than some of you know if you haven't been in this situation... I was looking at both sides of the coin and as an "outsider" that is a good perspective and maybe you should look at it this way yourself sometime... you may find it a little helpful.
Dr Peter. I don't understand your parallel with Zola's Germanal (but I'm a metal detectorists and wouldn't ever read that stuff and especially cause its in French and I'm illiterate and stupid) :-)
I still make my point that to "break" any company as is being discussed here is not correct. I also stand by my "Thatcherite" parallel. She tried to break the Unions and succeeded. In my opinion she was wrong and I had many friends who went through that time (miners in St Helens) and they didn't work because they needed food on their plate... they were starving and relied on hand outs from other people.
Yes stand up for what you believe in.
The greatest change can come from those within... who stay and fight for what is right. "Rats leave a sinking ship".
