Civility is a virtue on a site like this, it means the conversation has to rise a step above repetitive 4 letter vocabulary slinging. Sure, it doesn't get you much above the swamp but it at least points in the right direction.

There in lies the problem, it isn't evil. There were some pro worker points about making life easier for your employees, and there were some anti-worker points about trying to pay your employees less. On the whole I am not sure what the big deal is, companies have never paid more than they have to, suggesting that the current environment might allow for a reduction in wages is not "evil".
