They can't. You're right. If that's the case, how come Neal is
still employed... we know he's dead weight. The problem is
that companies are not actively hiring even to fill the open
spots they have. They're trying to squeeze every last once
out of their current employees. You can only do this for so
long. Then, the company suffers. The economy will turn
around eventually. It's still suffering, mostly from unreasonably
high unemployment in most of the major economic centers.

Companies cannot afford to keep on dead weight. During the Reagan boom
(Clinton took credit), companies were willing to hire anyone to fill an
opening without regard to the ability of that person to do the job. This
led to unqualified people (intelligently challenged) being led to
believe they deserve a piece of the "pie". Unfortunately, most companies
cannot afford to keep unproductive people on their payrolls. It's not
like we live in a communist state where everyone has a "so-called" job
(even if they don't work they get their "paycheck"). In the real world
one must work for a living an will only have that job as long as they
produce. Many companies in the tech sector have instituted the "bottom
10%" policy. Every year, the bottom 10% producers get the boot while
they continie to aggressively recruit more productive employees. Doesn't
sound like communism to me. Thank God.

Is Boobspit a communist?

BTW, all my investments are doing great!

Sorry Booby, the economy has come roaring back in spite
of all the Democrat demagoguery.
