Sign in to disble this ad
With apologies to any TB contributors who may be employees and/or shareholders of said companies, but:
Am interested to know peoples' opinions on which corporations have real problems on their hands with public relations? My leading candidates:
1) Goldman Sachs
2) BP
3) Bank of America
The Federal Reserve, while not technically a corporation, would have to receive [Dis]Honorable Mention in my book as well.
Thoughts and other candidates? |

I grew up 15 minutes away from their national headquarters, and had a bunch of friends who worked there.
I had a friend who had cancer who worked in the pharmacy. They then decided that a manager had to approve sick time, and a doctor's not wasn't enough, it was all at manager's discretion.
Also, Wal-Mart is currently under a class action lawsuit for their treatment of women in the workplace.
