Or, saving that, how about just cutting labor costs and easing out of those jobs altogether so that retirees and small-time investors continue to invest counting on the margins of the company showing growth?
So the people there are supposed to slave away and not get anything out of it because "ohh those poor investors...ohh wall street blah blah blah". I love libertarian thinkers its all "Ive got mine, now f---k off". I'm all for making such a large company actually treat their employees well. Most of them work for minimum wage, in a stressful and terrible work environment. There was once a time when companies treated their employees worth a damn. I think we need to get back to that.
