This & That, Ceci et Cela

Benz threatens to move 6000 jobs abroad to South America, etc. if German workers don’t accept paycuts. So get ready for the possibility of a drop in product quality.  Extremely amusing is their attempts at insulting their workers’ intelligence by saying that the board will take a cut too if workers agree but refuse to say how much. I see it: worker takes 0-15% cut in tandem with management taking 0-1% cut or something ridiculous. OR Mgt take 0-5% cut but get 300% bonus at yr end… Yeah, that sounds fair.
