OMG, how on earth will American workers survive with out things like: casual dress day, the company picnic, take your kid to work day, or executive club memberships? The inhumanity of it!! I think most folks are just happy to have a job with any benefits at all. Some of the benefits listed in this editorial, are extravagant. I've never known anyone who worked where their employer helped them purchase a home or with an adoption or personal travel.

I struggle to understand where this kind of outburst against working people comes from.

In what way was momof4's comment either an "outburst" or "against working people"?  Hers was simply a realistic reflection of the honorable American tradition of a work ethic and personal responsibility.  All gainfully employed consider themselves to be "working people"---and few have many of the cushy benefits mentioned in the original post---nor do they believe corporations should be required by government fiat to be the delivery system for "Nanny State Socialism." 

Why is it worthy of such disdain to even so much as CARE what kind of benefits workers receive.

There was nothing to indicate momof4 has any disdain or doesn't care what kind of benefits workers receive.  She correctly pointed out Job One---is getting a job.  Most of the benefits mentioned in the post are extravagant---and only a decision point for whiny malcontents---or those looking for an excuse not to work at all.
By the way: Sean and I BOTH work for a company that will help you purchase a home and that will help you adopt a child and that will pay domestic partnership benefits so now you actually do know someone.

Congratulations, when the public can no longer afford to buy products from a company burdened with excessive labor costs---they will move the process overseas---just like GE is doing with their X-ray business---it's going to China like their light bulb business.  GE, of course, is a principal beneficiary of Obama's crony Capitalism tactics. 
McGraw-Hill actually cares about their worker's well-being and the "general welfare" of those in their company. It's obviously hard for you to imagine but hardly worthy of the kind of derision you just dished out.

The only derision involved in this thread should be directed toward the whiny left.
