My former company is listed in Fortune Magazine's "Top 100 Places to Work" and were listed there ten out of twelve years since it began in 2000. Currently they have half the number of employees that they did when I first started working there twelve years ago. During the time I worked there they acquired another large company and doubled the number of products offered. Yet they laid people off and lowered our benefits. They erected a huge building in India and promptly began to fill it. During 2007 they got rid of VIPs and middle managers who were liberal and probably not onboard for radical head chopping. Early 2008 some of the upper echelon started dumping their stock. They hired a hideous head chopper from Texas who laid off one thousand people right before Christmas 2008. They were not given any notice and were escorted out of the building like criminals. Most were longtime dedicated employees who had to cash out their stock options when they were worth very little. After laying off my entire team and sending all the jobs to India, I checked the companies website for a year. Roughly 98% of new paying jobs (not including the 200 unpaid interns) went to other countries and to managers who speak foreign languages and "can travel." I will never work for a corporation ever again and I would like to see more support for small business.
