Fired Earthlink Employees Speak > Just makes

Re: Just makes

I don't think he is happy to see the people lose their jobs.

What he is saying is that he is happy to be a former customer, because he gets better service elsewhere, and because EL is going to Hell in an a handbasket, he is even happier to be a former customer.

I don't like watching companies dump employees for a quick return, or to make Wall street happy. In the end it puts them in miserable place when they do finally get back on their feet, pending that is possible.
A better fix is general to cut executive pay, remove a few layers of extra management, and maybe not pay out bonuses or perks, especially these days when one executives pay can be equal to or greater then 15 to 20 mid level salaries.
What I am happy about is that I, as a customer, am not paying a company, that has done something I can not agree with ethically, for goods or services.
I am not happy that the reason for my cancellation (Earthlink selling me services it could not deliver, and the difficulty in obtaining any kind of support beyond what you see in a foamy cartoon) has nothing to do with this. But I can pretend:)

Basically. I just get sick everytime I see another layoff by a company that is mismanaged.

I get sick everytime I read that Wall Street rewards mismanaged companies.

"Yay, they are profitable because they cut the folks that held the fort!"
"Yay, they fired half their workforce, so they save money by not paying out benefits!"
"Yay, their business model sucks, their executives have ridiculous exit contracts and parachutes, but they have a customer database that can be sold!"
