Ah yes the 50's. It was a different time. Employees took a job expecting to stay with a company for life. Employers invested in their employees. Some large corporations sent silver spoons to their employees when they had babies (engraved with the baby's name). It was a different time, we could wax nostalgic about ages past but alas.... times have changed. So have large corporations and publishing companies.
