    So I fail to see how a sarcastic response like
    Quote: What a terrible employer, paying the company's money to take care of your health.

    I would leave, and go and work for a company who won't give so much of a toss.

    Is very helpful!

    Well it wasn't meant to be helpful.

    If you want its deconstruction - it was a tiny diatribe on how almost every poster on here seems to think employers are only "in it for themselves", are always looking for ways to screw their employees to give more hours in return for less money, and are generally truculent and disinterested in employee rights.

    Of course there are some companies like that, just as plenty of employees are lazy and selfish.

    The point a lot of posters seem to miss is that not only are company directors trying to make money for the company and themselves, it's their duty to make the company (and therefore themselves) as profitable as possible.

    I could go on. Really I could.
