Were you all so naïve to think that you would be treated with respect by your company? Those with young wife and child(ren), did you really think this through and consider their feelings and sacrifices? How many of you in your twenties are lucky enough to have generous parents still willing to supplement your income? With all of this in mind, all of you accepted those substandard conditions. Why?
