Friday Side Discussion
Let's have a thread for random discussions - it's the end of the week - Please keep it clean as they are blocking IPs if bad language, bullying or personal names are used.
Stock is falling, people are leaving, yet Fran says we are keeping our most valuable customers.

Employees are abused because they don't punch back
where are the whistle blowers? where are the snowdens? and where is the lazy f---ing press?
