I imagine her main gripe would be that the free food was treated as a component of her compensation, and then withdrawn for the perfectly rational (but unrelated) reason of cutting costs.If someone did that to my salary (and it's happened a few times, for various reasons), that would generate a certain amount of ill-will.
- neilk 15y agoThat was her fault. She acknowledges her naïveté in accepting this as part of her salary negotiation, but strangely clings to her outrage as well.
- copper 15y agoThat's true. I'd say that time is pretty much the only thing that can heal outrage about such things, though.
- jes 15y agoI've found that doing some introspection helps me to deal with situations where I'm upset.

- mjwalshe 15y agoWell that's human nature people get far more upset about losing something losing $20 a day in free food feels much worse than gaining the same amount in pay.
