[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly those of you complaining about a potential increase in your contribution sound very petty to me - I’d bet plenty of your riffed or soon to be riffed colleagues would have been happy to increase their contribution.[/quote]
Them increasing their contribution wouldn’t have prevented RIFs. What a dumb thing to say.[/quote]

That is not what she meant--she meant they would all rather have a job and live through the increase than their situation of not having a job at all.[/quote]And it’s still dumb. I’m sure people who lose a leg would prefer to have lost a finger instead. That doesn’t make it okay to chop off people’s fingers. [/quote]

Job terms and conditions have changed since the dawn of time. Feel free to find a new job. Name calling accomplishes nothing.[/quote]
Not the issue. The issue is the justification for increasing how much people contribute to the retirement fund.[b] You know that. [/b]But the only answer you’ve given is that people should pay more so your feelings won’t be hurt.[/quote]

No,  I "don't know that" aka think that. You have been told what I think. I don't know what the Trump administration justification is actually but regardless of it I am fine with the result. You keep on telling people what they think, which is presumptuous. In addition, you don't have the ability to prick a conscience and make someone feel guilt for an opinion. But you keep on trying over and over. You are a human, not God. You have no power over other humans mentally. Also, you cannot bring things into being my your mere utterances, so your saying something over and over, that you don't want your contribution to change, doesn't mean that is not going to happen.

So what benefit do you derive from people being forced to pay more? Why can’t you answer?[/quote]
