I wish someone could explain the satisfaction Harry finds in the
fact that
companies are going out of business.


Is this good for liberals somehow? Circuit City had employees who
had jobs,
even if those folks did nothing. Is it in the best interest of
liberals
that the unemployed numbers grow larger?


I'm missing something somewhere.
Some companies deserve to go out of business due to the lack of
quality of their service, products or internal culture.


In the case of Circuit City, it was on the edge anyway. *The
economic crisis and retail downturn was simply the straw that broke
the camel's back.


Eisboch
Agreed. Circuit City just happened to be the company 'du jour'.
Harry, or
other liberals, continuously post articles of companies losing money
or
going out of business. And then make gleeful 'I told you so'
comments.
That's what I can't understand. What is there about companies going
out of business that brings joy to the
heart of a liberal?


Is it just simply 'anti-corporation'?
It really baffles me why you would cheer a corporation going bankrupt
and putting 30,000 people on the unemployment line. The people who
suffer the most are the 30,000 people on the unemployment line not the
executives of the company.


The vast majority of CC's employees got paid for not doing what the
public expected in that capacity, best described as consultation-based
sales. Do you think people who don't do their job should get paid for
it?
If you do what your boss expects you to do then you have earned your
pay. If my boss wants me to sit in the corner and keep my mouth shut I
can do it or quit. Your opinion of whether I am doing my job is
irrelevant.


You just said customers' opinions don't matter. What reality are you
living in? The customers voted and Circuit City is gone.


What type of business are you in?


No, I did not say customers' opinions don't matter.


My boss determines whether I get paid or terminated. If do what my boss
tells me to do I get paid and I don't do what my boss tells me to do I get
terminated.


Your opinion of my work as a co-worker, peer of my manager or someone else
in my company doesn't really matter to me as long as I am doing what my
boss tells me to do.


You as a customer can come into any business and complain as much as you
want. But, if I am doing what my boss tells me to do I will still get
paid. If my boss wants me to do something differently he will tell me to
do it differently.


Your opinion about how a business is run is just that an opinion. When you
have successfully run a national retail chain for more than 70 years then
I will listen to your thoughts on manager and employee relations.


So...if your 'boss' told you to ship a defective product that might cause
injury or death you'd do it...to hell with the customer eh?- Hide quoted text -
