If you had been successful you'd be collecting a pension now.




Actually, W'hine, that's not necessarily true for many people. There's
no shortage of successful corporate employees who were screwed by the
corporations for which they worked and no shortage of successful
corporate employees who were screwed out of their pensions by the
corporations for which they worked.

Here's an example: Chesley Sullenberger

Sully's pay was cut by his corporate employer, and he lost more than
half his corporate pension benefits.

Name not familar? Sullenberger rose to fame when he successfully ditched
US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River off Manhattan, New York City,
on January 15, 2009, saving the lives of all 155 people on the aircraft.

Sully has spoken publicly about how corporate employees in the airline
industry have been screwed out of pay, benefits, and pensions.
