I read some of the rants and raves on here about corporate America doesn't care, etc that I have to share a story. When I was a college co-op student at a steel and iron foundry in 1974, I noticed a foreman who had lost his arm at the shoulder. I asked someone how it happened and he said it was in an accident at the foundry a few years before. He added that when the GM went to see the fellow at the hospital the next day, the foreman asked one question: "Do I still have a job?" The GM said "you have a job as long as you want". And they honored that, no legal suit, no disability claim, etc. Back then, people were happy to have a job irregardless of the circumstances and they sucked it up. Just like I was. It wasn't always fair maybe, and people at the top still made a lot of money, but there wasn't the "I expect a handout" attitude.
