This is disgusting.Being loyal to your employees went out a looooooong time ago. Nowadays it's all about abusing your employees to make as much money as possible, firing anyone who dares complain (but always done in a way that it can't be proven so the company can't be successfully sued over it) and looking at the short term picture ONLY. Employees are now just so much cattle, there to make the upper management rich. That doesn't excuse the behavior, but it is the norm in the US now.

You're quite correct that it's disgusting. Someday this is all going to come back and bite companies though. Having no loyalty to your employees works both ways, they also have no loyalty to you. At some point in the future it's all going to fall apart when the remaining employees don't care enough to keep the company from failing. But all the current upper management will be long gone with all their money, so they won't care. It's kinda like a Ponzi scheme, only with employment.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130505/14372422951/court-finds-fantasy-stories-obscene.shtml#c664 Mon, 20 May 2013 18:13:20 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130505/14372422951/court-finds-fantasy-stories-obscene.shtml#c664
No. Obscenity law and the First Amendment tend to run into each other EVERY TIME as they are diametrically opposed concepts. Obscenity is by definition speech that society has deemed offensive. The First Amendment has NO provision for banning speech that is merely offensive even if it is considered offensive to the vast majority of the population. The entire concept behind the First Amendment is that speech that is offensive to one person has to be tolerated in order to protect their own speech from being censored by others who might find it offensive. These two concepts are like oil and water.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/08324323118/trade-group-representing-many-large-companies-claims-that-exceptions-blind-would-cast-aside-copyright.shtml#c1244 Mon, 20 May 2013 18:09:45 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/08324323118/trade-group-representing-many-large-companies-claims-that-exceptions-blind-would-cast-aside-copyright.shtml#c1244
