Corprate Morals-

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/03/29/companies-cut-hours-of-full-time-employees-to-avoid-providing-health-care-under-new-rules/

This is corprate's answer instead of actually doing whats right for it's employees, makes you want to give them 100% at all times, NOT, Until people stand up to these a--holes as was done almost 100 yrs ago what will it take for the new labor strikes to begin? I'm sure as time goes on it will come.

1. Corporate Morals - an oxymoron.

But I do find it coincidental that just when my firm is looking for a new cleaning service, I see an article about the bad behavior of a cleaning service right here in good ole Cincinnati.

Good to be in a position to ensure these guys are NOT on our list of potential services. Life's too short to deal with firms that try to screw people like this.

6. Would that "cleaning service" happen to be "Service Bastards"?

I had to deal with them at school districts in NJ. They were mostly ineffectual and cost more than they were worth. They would do whatever they wanted regardless of contractual agreements or fulfillment of service agreements. Every school district found they cost them 30%-50% more and providing lesser services. Trying to provide support services as a contractor/systems integrator cost me and our company about 50% more than with support employees that were just trying to do their jobs. Mainly thorough lack of knowledge about the facility or a perceived set of responsibilities that didn't support other contractors. In the end the school district payed the difference. Not something you want to support when your state and local taxes pay for that service.

I don't know if they have a national presence and I don't care. I know they won't have a presence in my building and that's my contribution for the day.

2. Reasoning with the corporate psychopaths..

is like discussing Shakespeare with a wharf rat. That part of the brain that we use for compassion is just missing in these people. And they're like zombies; they won't stop until they are stopped. There is no such thing as enough profit or enough power.

Slave owners never were brought to justice just like corporations hide behind "being people" .
