It's also their fault. They made an offer they weren't planning on keeping. And they lose the most - an irate employee is a dead loss to an organization, but still gets a paycheck (until they more on or get fired, which takes a long time).

That's true. I'd say that time is pretty much the only thing that can heal outrage about such things, though.

I've found that doing some introspection helps me to deal with situations where I'm upset.

Well that's human nature people get far more upset about losing something losing $20 a day in free food feels much worse than gaining the same amount in pay.
