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.

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

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.

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.

I had no outburst against working people Whonew, so can the drama. Some of those benefits are extravagant in my opinion. You do not know me but you presume a great deal. Me and mine work very hard for what we have, if you and yours get some of those benefits listed, good for you. You do not corner the market on caring for the working class. I do not begrudge people benefits earned, but you have to admit, that casual dress day, the company picnic or seats at a sporting event do not rank high on an employee's list versus healthcare, paid sick leave ot any vital benefit. The only derision dished out is of your own making and towards me. It's obviously hard for you to imagine or fathom, that people are allowed to have opinions different from yours, because when they don't, you carry on with the most high and mighty sense of phony outrage that I have ever witnessed from an adult.
