I never heard anything like that.. I thought that was why the shareholders
vote on major decisions. The best interests of the business are the best
interests of the shareholders. If management is cuttign the business's
throat (so to speak) by literally destroying the staff and the remaining
staffs morale; that makes short term paper look good.. Which of you're a
shareholder, would only be good if you were getting ready to sell out. If
the company prospers, the shareholders prosper.
