2. K&R. Big time. "a grotesque abdication of responsibility," indeed.

It's simply extraordinary how this goes on. When I started my career in the mid-70s, it was a given that employers felt the well being of their employees to be important. A given.

Now, forget it. I'm glad I'm within five years of retirement, and hope to make it there. Others not so lucky, including my significant other - after a lifetime of hard and successful work, she was unceremoniously booted in January 2010. I have moved in with her so she can keep her house. At our age, new employment is impossible. I'm grateful to my employer, but I'm also a realist. No guarantees.
