Let's see. Racial harrassment, sexual harrassment, glass ceilings for
female workers, inadequate health care benefits, and unpaid overtime.
I can see why "crappy, low wage jobs, that nobody in their right mind
would want" pretty much sums it up. And that's just the items I've
heard about in the news lately.<br>
<br>
I can't just look past all that because they happen to employ people.
I think standards are a positive thing, and that more employees should
set theirs higher.<br>
<br>
I'm sure Mr. Woods was happy at some level to have a paying job, but
going through two years of that kind of harrassment is too high a price
to have to pay. I wonder if they fired the manager.<br>
