We continuously complain about the wide gap in salaries for the workers opposed to the salaries of management.

"At a meeting in June, Ford executives discussed the possibility of cutting 30% of the company's white-collar workforce in the North American automotive unit, according to a person who attended the meeting."

Shouldn't we be a little pleased that they are going for the higher priced workers rather than those that are on hourly wages and less fortunate?

Regardless of your position, losing your job is a very difficult thing.
However, it is less difficult for those who have been making enough to save some money over the years than it is for those who just make ends meet.

If a company is going to downsize, I applaud them for starting at the upper level.
Anyone agree or am I alone?

BTW, I don't blame them for asking the newly downsized to leave immediately. Today's world is so viscious and vindictive that a disgruntled worker can do a lot of damage before leaving a company.
Especially a worker that has access to upper level information.
