Unemployment and underemployment. Not keeping limits on the H1-B Visa program. Companies, including a certain unnamed multi-national, are hiring and training college graduates from India instead of from the U.S. Industry needs to work more closely with schools to build a workforce for the future and be incentivized to focus on more than short term profits that boost stock prices and executive bonuses.
The mortgage crisis. The push for short term profits drove the mortgage crisis we are currently experiencing. Lenders dropped their standards for making loans during a clearly speculative market period in order to cash in on the short term profits. The industry could easily have averted this crisis by taking responsibility.
But that's the trouble with working for a corporation. Individual responsibility is strongly discouraged. If you try to take an ethical stand for even the smallest principle, you will be pulverized. Literally pulverized.
The corporate world controls by fear of layoffs. And crushes anyone who takes an ethical stance. The Corporation is a soul-crushing, spirit sucking, vat of congealed evil dressed up in a suit and worshiping at the alter of the devil named quarterly earnings.
