Jeff Mahoney reminds us<\/a> that the values people fought and died for in two world wars somehow got lost in the peace thanks to corporate indifference to the common good.<\/p>\n

Money quote:<\/p>\n

We know it so well here. Siemens is pulling out of the city. This week Maple Leaf sold its meat plant in Burlington.<\/p>\n

When these things happen I like to go to the company websites and read their value and mission statements. U.S. Steel: \u201c \u2026 guided by a new vision for its second century of business. Building value for its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Siemens: \u201cValues: Highest performance with the highest ethics. Excellent: Achieving high performance and excellent results.\u201d Wow, the specificity!<\/p>\n

Maple Leaf: \u201cSix Sigma embodies our commitment to continuous improvement and provides our people with the discipline to never accept status quo . . . .\u201d<\/p>\n

Six Sigma? Did they get that from one of Keanu Reeves\u2019 Matrix movies?<\/p>\n

Please, captains of industry, spare us the halo-polishing and bust down your zen-for-dummies rhetoric costs. Here, have this one on me: \u201cValuing excellence, excelling at values, valuing valuable values, excelling at most excellent excellence, Teletubbies, big hug.\u201d<\/p>\n

Translated it means \u201cmore gold faucets in the yacht \u2014 we remain leaders in the all-important layoff sector of the economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Remembrance of sacrifice on the battlefield is supposed to instil in us\u00a0 the value of courage and honour in the pursuit of social justice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
