7700 - Well said - required reading for all new applicants. Excellent!
Sad - but true that modern Corporate Culture (sic) always seems to strive for getting the workforce to do as much as possible for the smallest rewards - that's the stated aim - 'Duty to shareholders' etc etc. When even applicants desperate for a job refuse an offer of one, the Board meets and slightly improves the package (watch this space). Not because of any respect for the future 'team member' - just because they have to fill slots.
And all that 'Thanks for making this a record year' stuff seems slightly hollow................
