idea. Instead of pissing and moaning about something you perceive as a broken promise, why don't you rejoice in the fact that women are finally going to be compinsated for doing the same damn job I do as a man. I guess for you, it's easier to continue to just slam him because hey, what fun would it be for you otherwise right? The man felt no need to allow this one to sit for 5 days so folks like you could say "well, he kept his promise". This is something that's been needed for a long time. It's finally done and he signed it without allowing you to look at it so now he's a liar in your eyes. Well good for you. Be proud of yourself that the only thing you see here is a broken promise and not a step in the right direction for equal pay for equal work. Take a bow.  |
