"I Quit" Op-Ed Piece Kicks Butt

Jake DeSantis's New York Times Op-Ed piece, an open letter to his boss, Ed Liddy, was a well-reasoned, long-needed, voice from the other side of the great economic divide.  If you have not read it, STOP and read it now.  There are so many places to look here -- DeSantis's argument for the sanctity of contract; his assertion that his boss disappointed him by promising him (and others) a "carrot" at the other end of the "stick" and then potentially yanking the carrot back; the lack of understanding of what "bonus" in the financial industry really means.  

It should be required reading.
