Are Dinosaurs Really Extinct?
Here I sit on a Sunday perusing info about corporations and the over-riding theme I keep getting is that there are no longer any ethical companies left in the US. Record profits reported (creative accounting?), new acquisitions announced, more mergers...how did these companies get here if everyone is reporting downturns in the economy? I think there is so much bullshit being dished out by corporate America that no one on this planet can figure out the truth. The truth is that everyone is running out of disposable income due to energy price gouging and it will only get worse until a) someone is elected to the office of President who is honest and ethical (muahahahahaha...unlikely!! or b) the bottom drops out and no one in America has money...not individuals and not corporations. I vote for b) because there are some selfish people on this planet who would think nothing of ripping off their own relatives let alone average citizens. But don't you fret none, peoples, because Bush will talk to God and come up with the perfect solution for all you conservatives.
So, all you big corporations, keep cutting payroll and screwing with your help, and playing the Workmans Comp shuffle. In the long run I think the eventual backlash will make all these 'forward looking' corporate honchos ex corporate honchos. At some point investors are going to get tired of the negative backlash from company employees and actually do something about 'dinosaurs' running companies. And the honchos that are causing these problems are rejects from other companies that had to file for restructuring or bankruptcy due to their 'innovative' ways of running these companies (into the ground?). Just remember to spend, spend, spend at the top, but take it from the bottom, after all, these people at the bottom don't even warrant a pat on the back and job well done. All the innovations and ideas come from the top, don't they?

You have just summed up corporate America, and the American Government, in one sentence.
The United States Government gets away with so much crap that is shady, that the american people are just too sick of it to do anything about it. That is the way I felt when I worked for another major retail chain. Our daily meeting would start with, "we are voluntarily cutting hours to save on payroll", and the next day it would be, "we need to cut payroll because same day sales are down", and about half of the staff would be sent home after 4 hours.
I would read profit reports about this "chain" and see that they were having above expected, same store profit. Who is kidding who here? I was getting poorer because the store managers wanted a bigger bonus this quarter and if they could get the job done with less staff, well then they would get it by saving payroll dollars.
I overheard my store manager on the phone (I was working a department and he was using a dept. phone right next to me) and he was telling the other person on the phone about a $36,000 bonus....all the while I had been sent home early 2 or 3 times a week from November to January.
I said the hell with it. Instead of trying to beat them, I just got another job and I do not shop there anymore. I may not be able to change them as I cannot change the government, but I will not help support their greed.
Taking about bonus.What is the deal with TM.Does the managers cut on payroll being aware of this? I guess no matter how much they puff into us they will never get anything? What happen also if the store never gets an accident reported?Do they get a bonus? By the way I am Mo and recuperating.This person from the other retail can answer too if she knows something.
