What would you think of your company if ...

  • Even though five of the top ten richest people in the country worked for your firm, you and most of your co-workers were expected and encouraged to utilize public assistance for things like healthcare and food assistance because the average wage for employees is below the poverty level?
  • Your company was the subject of the largest class action suit ever for gender discrimination?
  • Your company served largely as a distribution center for imported goods produced in hellish sweatshops overseas?
  • Your company forced American companies out of business and American workers out of jobs - that is, unless they want to come and work for your company for much, much less?
  • You had to work overnights and your company actually locked you in the building without a manager to let you out in case of a fire, heart attack, accident, or any such emergency?
  • Your company generally finds it less expensive to violate whatever laws it pleases and pay the fines rather than comply with the law?

Would you be proud to work at a place like this? Should any of us support a business like this?
