Your comment, while informative, puts the cart before the horse. High work stress and poor employee treatment are usually symptoms, not causes, of a business going under.
- hexscrews 12y agoI would argue otherwise. If you know for a fact that you are not valued, you aren't going to care. If you come into work and find that not only are you mistreated, you are ACTIVELY despised, you are going to put the absolute minimum effort in. And it will show. Employees are humans. Abused humans do not make good corporate interfaces.

The very first story was getting rid of advertising in newspaper inserts, staffing up like crazy for Black Friday, only to sell maybe $200 worth of stuff that whole day. Other ridiculous things include stocking up on remote-controlled cars based on PT Cruisers and on Brum, which essentially no American recognizes. [1] Next to these, the CueCat seems like genius.
