Right or wrong, he is trying to protect himself and his family from a percieved attack, and so he is rather hot under the collar.
We're in a Walmart style race to the bottom.
By the way, I haven't seen it mentioned- did management take a 40% pay, benefit and pension cut yet?
"If this really is true"...hey pal, I've got better things to do than make up BS out of thin air. Mr. Sutton's quote was pulled directly from an article in this morning's Minneapolis Star-Tribune. I highly doubt they're making stuff up.
Regardless of the circumstances, Mr. Sutton's feelings demonstrate an amazing lack of "Chrisitian ideal" (if you will...I'm not casting from a religious but rather a moral sense). I realize that his job is on the line (as are most jobs in this day and age). That doesn't excuse his wish to make the lives of others "hell". As I wrote earlier...IMO karma has a way of catching up to people. I suspect it will be biting Mr. Sutton on firmly any time now.
BTW...
here is a link to the article where Mr. Sutton's quote is. The site requires registration, but I believe you can log in as "guest/guest".
