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.

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?
That is an ethical decision.
Why would an ethical question trouble you?
