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?
We know ethical questions don't trouble you.

That's absurd. There are many ethical questions that trouble me. I
can't think of one that might trouble you. You are after all the
epitome of the "I've got mine, **** you" Republican mindset.

What is the ethical question you believe might trouble me?

All of them.

What, are you Sarah Palin now?

Moi? Hardly. But BAR is a rightie...and therefore bereft of real ethics.

Ask me an ethical question Harry? Or, are you afraid of the answer I may
give?
