Re: Saving Money Ideas Degrading?
Hmmm, if the airline is laying people off because they (the airline) is in bankruptcy, maybe they should have followed some frugal advice themselves!
I think it was in poor taste, but there is nothing degrading about saving money. However, there is something very unprofessional and insulting about your (former) employer giving you unsolicited, and very personal advice on how to run your personal life.
What is also offensive is that the company that provided these hints prides itself on 'We are people who truly listen, who genuinely care, who are available at all times, and who know how to enhance the lives of employees and support the productivity and profitability of employers.' and probably got paid big bucks for handing out this kind of dumb stuff as a 'benefit' to the poor folk who were laid off. I can see it now, someone said "Hey, it says in our contract with the airline that we have to provide support to the employees...I know, let's give them this leaflet! OK, that's that task checked off!"
