That rules out an outfit that is a member of an industry that's in terminal decline. Sears and J C Penney are prime examples of zombiefied outfits which are:
1. Members of a dying industry.
2. Are playthings amongst hedge funds.
3. Hedge funds are the vector which delivers money from suckers to these zombie companies. The hedge funds then fob off shares of said hedge funds to suckers while collecting fees.

I agree. I'd reckon that some $.50/hr Chinese livestock could do the jobs at your joint.
Quote:It started in Louisiana, and carries on those grand old traditional values.
You mean you get off on Christmas and Thanksgiving since those are Qod's holidaze?
Quote:The floors are vacuumed every four hours.
That's to keep up appearances. Clean floors aren't an indicator of success.
Quote:The trash cans are emptied every four hours.
Well, now, I'd like to be a janitor at your company. The more often trash cans are emptied, means a lighter overall work load.
Quote:Office supplies must be paid for in your own blood (no kleenex for weeks, etc).
Use the monitor as a wiping place for snot.
Quote:Dog and pony shows for clients are led through our war room, so no IT person can wear tennis shoes, etc. No petting of the dogs or ponies is allowed. No personal items of any kind are allowed in cubicles.
Bare cubicles are the default then?
Quote:The CEO is an early Boom salesman. Top line revenue is valued.
How about bottom line revenue. Profit = Top line revenue - ( costs + taxes)
Quote:Anyone fired is immediately shamed by having an email sent to all employees, with photo, stating said person is no longer with the company, and is not allowed in the building.Is this even legal?
Quote:Anybody getting a picture of how corporate thinks?
Hopefully, you're just there for a gig like arrangement. I'm pretty sure both of our employers will be history before our respective SS edibility time. Here's newsflash. I got a letter from axa.com and apparently my company has a 401K
plan and profit sharing. I got extremely irate when our accounting person started blowing smoke up my ass about this finding. So, I called the plan's investment firm, which is aforementioned http://www.axa.com after our accountling lady said there's no such thing and never heard of axa.com. I truly hate being lied to. Some other employees said, yes, such an animal exists as well. I wonder what I can due if I get denied plan entry?
