What about Sunoco workers?
Once again corporate America focuses on "determining the best way to deliver value to shareholders," as Sunoco plans to close or sell two refineries. Citing "tough decisions in the face of a challenging market environment," CEO Lynn L. Elsanhans has decided to throw 1,500 employees under the corporate bus so as to insure stockholders a profit.
I find it curious that whenever corporate America uses "profitability" as an excuse to lay off workers and close plants or outsource jobs, the ax is always swung at the bottom of the organization. Perhaps if Ms. Elsanhans' job were on the line, she and other CEOs would think twice about these decisions. But then, when CEOs fail they get multimillion dollar golden parachutes and move on to the next corporation. No wonder there is no employee loyalty left in America!
