RE: Midrange Computing Closed

["Marshall Akins" <makins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh give me a break.   This is off topic and out of hand.   Aren't we
supposed to be a little bit smarter than to make generalizations about
every corporation?

If a company does not provide value to its customers, employees, suppliers
and stockholders then it will cease to exist.

At www.tredegar.com I find that Tredegar Corporation is a profitable
developer of technology for drug delivery and other medical applications.
Thanks, those products may save my life or the life of  someone in my
family.    In return, you will be compensated for your time and effort and
will continue to make products that improve our lives.

How quaint.     Martin,  Businesses in the US (Global business strategy
soon)  is motivated by one thing.  Greed.  Money. Profit.  If you want to
rent the movie that defines this, rent "Head Office"  (Danny devito, Rick
Maranis, Jane Seymour, etc).

Businesses no longer(if ever)  care about;

Product Value
People
or anything that doesn't contribute to the bottom line.

Personal development at companies now is equated to "What can you learn to
help us make more money?"
