Anyone against the big corporate culture? Mind you, I am not anti-corporatr. I am an impartial observer. Just want to hear your views.

Let me tell you one (among many) thing that I hate about the corporate world: The Cube Farms.\n\nThey'll tell you the cube is the ideal work space where you get you own semi-privacy while being able to interact with your co-workers.\n\nIn reality, they just throw you in a box to condition your thinking and behaviour, to kill your creativity, and give themselves a better sense of control over individuals.

this type of child care is exactally what it is....corporate..... and corporate thinks only of the all mighty dollar. I have worked for a "corporate" child care before and was not at all impressed. Then i worked in hometown daycares and they love the children and was in it for the children not the money...........

unrestrained corporate control of society is closer to fascism than economic socialism is. an oligarchy of corporate society is essentially what mussolini defined as a fascist state. you see much more of that working behind the scenes in some western countries than in poorer left wing socialist states that are nationalizing their industires. the fact that people are so ignorant of what the actual meanings of the words they toss around is kinda sad.. do some research- fascism is the establishment of a totalitarian system run by oligarchs, not a socialist system. and there are oligarchs in every country, including the ones we like to call 'free'. some are just better at hiding it than others.

You want an answer to that?  Looks like a bunch of kids on here trying to get summer school work done for free.  Come on, think.  It's a completely subjective question anyway.  If you want an opinion, I'll say that the government's "ownership" and regulation of frequencies is unconstitutional, anti-capitalist and immoral to begin with, so you can probably infer the rest of my position from there. . . .

Many free-marketeers forget that corporations are government creations and although are treated as "legal persons", they have rights and powers beyond human beings, including limited liability for illegal and/or destructive actions.  Even libertarians and anarcho-capitalists want to limit or eliminate corporate charters.  Ultimately, it is our and our governments fault and responsibility.  I hope it's not too late.

You've hit a nerve with me on this question as I'm currently dealing with just such a question.  Business is business and the number one priority is to provide a profit, however when corporate greed takes such a priority over even the most basic ethics, it has gone too far.  \n\nWe have discovered that Meineke Car Care knowingly sold a convicted sex offender (Rape) a franchise.  When contacted about this, they put in WRITING that they not only knew about his conviction but don't feel it's a problem because it happened in the 90's.  WHAT are these people thinking?  Doesn't a company have an obligation NOT to put their customers in the position on handing over their personal info & keychains or taking a ride home from a convicted sex offender?  Did the recent lawsuits about the attacks on a customer and employee at Walmart & McDonalds teach companies anything?  At least they had the luxury of not knowing the employees history. How could Meineke defend this?

A lot of people are against foreign companies. Buy American. What these people do not understand is that company will put a lot of $$$ into the local economy. I'm in California. People here accept NUMMI because of the jobs, contributions to charities, and how the company keeps it's buildings and pollution down.

What I love most about Germany is its people and its very strong ethical standards in every walk of life. I can't 'hate' any country if I don't find a big Mac or Coke tin rolled out to me through the vending machines. I love my way of life, that wouldn't make me think otherwise of another. Not a bad idea if we stop hating in bulk:) Can we use 'dislike' or 'not to my own satisfaction' instead. Just thinking.

You are absolutely right but unfortunately I don't see it changing anytime soon. History has shown us time and again that as the gap between the haves and the have nots widens, empires crumble. America will ultimately complete its cycle as the dominant world empire and some other empire will rise up to take its place. If our "corporate leaders" were not so focused on short term profit maybe the process can be slowed down somewhat. But in our present economic climate, where worldwide corporations have no allegiance to particular nations, I don't see that happening anytime soon

I don't see anyway out of the changing conditions of Banking that it becomes a Market Driven Culture. Employees power can only come with production results. Although a certain set of employees can be mainly a clan operation, but they will be in supportive roles only.

I don't believe companies learn much from one incident.  If there is only one example, that will not lead to change.  In fact. this type of "lesson" if you want to call it that has always been with in the corporate world.  Only when the desire for material wealth or gain is replaced with the desire to enhance humanity and strive for a higher level of civilization, will the issue be resolved.

Like a lot of musical movements, Grunge had its time in the sun. I think what happened was the corporates didn't like the ferocity of the Grunge movement and fought back through manufacturing faux-grunge bands and singers (I'll name no names) so that they could control music again. With the death of Kurt Cobain and the breakup of Soundgarden, the movement was always going to be eventually marginalized by the hype of manufactured bands and the American Idol culture that seems to have completely taken over music. I wouldn't despair, though. Music has always had a way of throwing up rebels. There will eventually be a backlash against the corporates. Something like Grunge (which, after all, was really Punk Mark II) will spring up again. All it will take is a few genuinely talented bands to kick the door down.

I think you may be confuding humantiy a little bit. Humans work at McDonald, Taco Bell, Toyata, and Ford. I dont think that one must become a companys biggest fan just because they work there. We still have a right to our own likes and dislikes and beliefs. And last time I checked we are all sinners. And sinners go to church too dear. They great thing about god is that he Loves us knowing we are sinner and will never be perfect.

typical of big corporations running down mom and pop shops. It's a damn shame. \n\nIn my neighborhood, this family owned coffee shop is being replaced with Starbucks.  Enough said.

I think outsourcing is a horrible thing because it is yet another industry being taken away from America.  We used to be a manufacturing giant, but now nothing is made the in the USA.  Outsourcing our software and white collar jobs too now?  Come on.

You HAVE noticed it is not about countries anymore, have you?\n\nThe U.S. is not competing with anyone. Big corporations - with support from free market governments - have allowed China to set the world standards of cost and quality of many INDUSTRIAL products and of employee productivity in general. Other economies will suffer for this. \n\nChina is now the Latin America and the Southeast Asia of the 70's and 80's and 90's. Why would the government of a free market country want to kill the golden goose of modern day industrial corporations?\n\nI think you should be more concern with China having so much interest in U.S. treasury bills!!!   50%, my friend.
