Normally new technology like this is not put in place until the company finds a significant loss of revenue.

I do find it intriguing that some people say we should be more sympathetic (sensitive? ) to those people, but as somebody who has worked two full time jobs, should I really be sympathetic when I got up off my rear and did what I had to do, when they sit there and wait for hand outs? Really?
