Am I really reading this?The board screws up loses $55b, raises $49b, now tries to save pennies limiting photocopies and blackberry usage WHILE STILL PAYING A DIVIDEND? http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aLcCt3Z7spuI&refer=home
Absolutely nutty isn't it! I was shocked reading the article too. I can hear it now as the car gets low on gas: "Turn off the radio so we can save gas and keep driving.":eek:
well this is crazy Things are really getting out of hand Look,s like they are cutting cost left and right
HA !!! you think that's crazy , read what the geniuses at Air Canada did to save on Fuel. Fucking unbelievable, just read it: http://www.cnn.com/2008/TRAVEL/08/28/airline.vests.ap/index.html
But they pay $20 Million per year to sponsor the new Mets field? That would buy alot of color copies!
Is management at least trying to produce more profits? Saving can only do so little. More profits are the only way to recovery.
Its the same with all companies, when the share price is high and going higher. You get bonuses, big pay rises, company outings, generous expenses, lots of training, lots of perks etc. But when the share price is going down the crapper everything changes, its like you are working for a different company.
