Thread regarding Manulife Financial Corp. layoffs

As a shareholder of Manulife or any other company, my primary concern is to make money

As a shareholder of Manulife or any other company, my primary concern is to make money. However, as with all my business dealings, I expect ethical behaviour on all levels of each and every business dealing. Given tomorrow, 2nd May 2013, will be th 1Q earnings call it will be interesting to see and hear the results and future forecast. Equally interesting will be the dividend. Will it be another .13/shr or will it increase given all the cost savings? Have those savings increased investors worth or merely the bottom line salaries at the top; those getting 21% salary increases already? If the dividend goes up will it offset the social and actual costs of displaced workers and services they require and funds investors such as me foot the bill for. If they are soley to increase the wealth at the top, I must rethink further holdoing this stock. A final note is patriotism. Manulife prides itself as the largest insurer in Canada. They do business in the US under John Hancock a revered American patriot. To move jobs overseas all the while trumpeting what integral parts of the community they are is uncontionable. There are some questions and shortly we will see if there are any ethical answers.......
