Let's skip the hourly worker stuff

Let's not throw in anything about EDS always picking on the poor hourly worker. The group I'm in is all pretty highly paid salaried people who have been with EDS for an average of 20 years. If you do the math on the number of people we lost and how many are in the group, we were hit harder than most groups. In certain groups one type of worker is going to be hit more than others. I've worked on too many account leadership teams with hourly workers where RIFs took place. Hourly workers have never been singled out over the salaried. Certainly not because they were hourly workers. It does seem like at the VP and higher level, there's only Golden Parachutes, but at normal human levels, I don't buy it.
