What they are doing right now (lay-offs in conjunction with buybacks) is one of the most egregious examples of corporate greed this country has seen since the likes of Enron and WorldCom.
The executives know it, too. Which is why they don't discuss it.
Read the corporate quarterly call from May. It's all there.
If enough employees went to the press, or did a coordinated PTO day, Wilson and company may have no choice but to rescind the layoffs.
Remember: The billions upon billions of dollars used to artifiically pump up the stock price could have been used on advertising, employee enhancement, customer premium reduction etc. THAT is the key.
