First, I think xcubed is right about #1. Not paying taxes should be considered a criminal negligence. All companies should operate within specified rules by the law and if one company does not it gets an unfair advantage over others. As a stakeholder in a company one should learn how to run the daily operations or hire some bookkeeper that can. The other points (2-3) I don't see any problem as that's how all the companies that I know operate. Everybody sells half-ready products. I would even consider stupid not to do that. Regarding the employees I think that every employee that joins a company is part of the and the team fails as a one. I have been a part of a failing team and I don't hold the company's owners resposible of my future career. I don't think Enron's owners were very much interested in the re-employment of their staff either. I was once listening to a lecture by Monty Widenius and he said that statistically an enterpreneur succeeds in the third startup he/she gets going. Failures just teach us how to do things better. A culture where a failure is considered as our only lost chance of success does not lead to anybody succeeding.
