Yes, let's just ignore all those undeserving, slimy, fat cat CEOs in the
headlines, ripping off the general populace the pittance that they do earn
for their hard work.  We're already aware of all the old ways that
companies cut corners to increase profit margins, now they're inventing
new ones.  Like straight out lying about the profit margins to increase
stock ownership.

Oh, and don't think you avoid this if you don't own stock.  Your insurance
and retirement plans are tied directly to these stock earnings (now
failings).  Apparently, economically viable in this job market means lie
to your investors, burn the evidence, then run away.

I think we can all put down the antiquated, nieve notion that large
corporations have any employee's best interests at heart.  That wasn't
even true when people believed it.
