    So, it is customary in US to smile, when you greed a stranger on a street. Some will say that it is disingenuous since clearly you do not experience joy each time seeing a random person on a street. And yet, I rather people smiled.

      That’s a strawman argument. Of course we should be civil. WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY as George Costanza likes to remind us. I simply object to the false comradery that tries to paint a picture of caring about the workers while simultaneously reducing benefits and pay. Behind the ‘social’ nice mask is a machine controlled by stakeholders.

        OK, fair enough. But most managers are employees too. They have their own managers, they have tasks given, and they are given the total budget. Most of the managers would love to increase salaries of their reports, why would not they? It is not their money.
