It makes me wonder how this idea got started too.  On the flipside, I was thinking how if this is any different than people who work in the restaurant industry where they expect\/demand customers to tip them with similar reasons being that they get paid too little from the company itself.  Ironically, in that case it wouldn&#8217;t be as controversial.<\/p>\n<p>Either, having this pretty much admits that a company isn&#8217;t taking care of its people and this probably won&#8217;t bode well for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bizzare news indeed.
