You bring some good and logical points, I agree. At the end of the day though, the money all comes from and goes to the same family, the one that owns Crown. The things that you are mentioning are all relevant, but unless you have MET & DEALT with the people who run Crown at the "god" level, you will be limited to a theoretical business model thinking. Yes, the economy did play a huge role, as I did loose my job also, but there are companies out there that sincerely DO value their employees. If you presently work @ Crown, I hope you never have to experience some issues that other have had to endure while working there.
