Observer; Reflection: In Difficult Times....Cut from the TOP first

It has been the fashion recently, in times of economic difficulty, to cancel the temporary workers, and the very lowest workers and make them feel the wrath first...when in some corporations, the amount to be saved is so large, that only a total mobilization of the entire corporate spirit will be what saves it.

Thus the rule; In times of crisis...true leaders begin by cutting their own salaries first...they set the example and signal that everyone at all levels will participate in real terms and not just rhetoric.

One of the "signs" of a corporation that has a good chance of success thus...is that the leaders lead. Make a note of it. Those firms are the ones to invest in. Avoid those that do not get it.

Observer:Reflection: In Difficult Times.....Cancel the Travel and Entertainment-----

In difficult corporate times, one of the first categories of expense to be cut is travel and entertainment....the theory is....in times of difficulty....sacrifice is necessary...and then when profits have returned....THAT will be the time to celebrate...and not before.

In some cultures...such as government cultures...this rule is not followed...and the custom of entitlement makes those employed blind to the plight of the general population. Employees feel they are entitled to the perks they have always had...and the paid donuts...and the travel...and all the extras. After all...did not John Maynard Keynes himself say that it was up to government to "fill the gap" during difficult times..and what better gap than donuts could there be??

Thus cutting the budget pertains to others, not themselves....thus...they don't get it when regular folks say "Cut the donuts!!"...Make a note of it.
