New You mean Weird
yes it has been an evolution of businesses to worship the Almighty Dollar and only care about Profit Margins. Since 1945, or whenever, it has kept getting worse. Also Accountability in Management is almost non-existant, Managers make the same mistakes over and over again and lay off the people under them for those mistakes. Hardly anyone lays off the Upper Management, and even if they do, they got that Golden Parachute payoff.

New In this vein...a question for Peter
Peter-

Isn't there some kind of a law in the UK that states that if you fuck up a company, you cannot run another for like 5 years or something? I seem to recall an oblique reference to such a thing in a couple of Register articles, but they assumed that the (UK) reader knew what they were talking about, so they didn't explain any further.

Can you elucidate?

Boy I'd like to see those words on a PR banner behind [Treasury Secretary John] Snow at the podium:
Jobs and Growth: Just Wait.
