- Spelling aside, he has a point.
-
- Companies already do this in the form of getting rid of employees with
- just a few years left to retire in order to hire new people. They
- don't have to pay the fired worker a pension and they don't have to
- pay the new person as much salary.
-
- Salary is *the* largest expenditure for business.

- While I don't doubt that your source said this, he is incorrect. Most
- studies on non-verbal communication state that in casual conversation,
- it is about 65% non-verbal, 35% verbal.
-
- As conversation takes on more restricted stances (such as listening to
- a lecture), verbal messages become more dominant when compared to the
- non-verbal messages.
