re: #692 soap_man
My old boss (well, to be more specific, my boss’s boss) was laid off. When the higher ups were telling him, he volunteered to be demoted and take a pay cut down to my boss’s level. They refused, so he volunteered to be demoted and take a pay cut down to my level. Basically, my boss would now be his boss, and I would be his equal. They refused.
I think my salary would still take care of the basics for him, but I was still amazed he was trying to do that.
That is a stand-up guy; I’d work for him in a heart-beat.
