Very noble self-sacrifice and all, frightfully deserving, but I can never quite shake the feeling that we're just seeing some mean and subtle form of moral extortion: employees have to sacrifice to save other employees (or, more likely, their own slot in the lay-off-lottery), but are those that have really sacrificed correspondingly? banks, and insurance companies, and large corporations seem to be able to make off with huge winnings even in the most direst of times (and when they really screw up, the tax payer is usually there with a saving cheque), but the little folk are persuaded that starving a little more is the only way to save the world...
