Northwest to Employees: Dig in the trash.

I'm back after exactly 2 months away from not posting. I'll warn everyone next time I decide to split.

I was listening to Air America a second ago and I heard Ed Shultz (ok maybe he's not Air America) say Northwest Airlines was passing a pamphlet around telling their employees to dig in the trash and take their significant others out to the beach in order to save money (Hopefully not in that order). I decided I had to see that pamphlet so I went to Northwest's website and I couldn't even find a page for employees. Even my college job had a page for their employees, sheesh.
Figuring it must be hidden under muck I went to Technorati and lo and behold, The Consumerist had a link to the pamphlet here.

The guy who found the pamphlet on The Consumerist, Triteon, tries to give Northwest a little leeway saying it's actually NEAS who distributes pamphlets to it's clients (i.e. NorthWest) to get its "future former employees ready. I'll save that for future reference. I contract someone and the fault goes to the guy under me. That's gotta be the easiest way to remove responsibility, right? *cough* Gitmo *cough*

Still, I like the irony in certain individuals getting fired and being rewarded with $40 million dollars and a golden umbrella and others being given a pamplet telling them to go eat trash.

I put a copy here because I like backups.

P.S. Happy 100th Post to Me!
