As a result of increased sales, product mix and expense reductions, second quarter gross margins as a percentage of revenue improved to 39 percent from 35 percent in the second quarter of 2004 and from 32 percent in the first quarter of 2005. We expect gross margin as a percentage of revenue to approximate 40 percent in the second half of 2005.

But that is an oxymoron--they're lowering the prices on the backs of the people who work for them.

We're in the 21st century and these are good workplace rules, and you've got to obey them.
