"The basic principle which I believe has contributed more than any other to the building of our business as it is today, is the ownership of our company by the people employed in it." -- James E. Casey, 1955
What would JC say now?
In the 50's JC did not have to
1) run a publicly run company. He tried it and took it private.
2) compete against non-union competitors.
3) compete in a global economy
It's a different world but you do wonder what his opinion would be in the spirit of
". . . a hard part of management’s problem is to know when to make changes and when to hold fast to what is still good." Jim Casey 1948
long time listener first time caller ... AMEN to the quote from Jim Casey. Since we've gone public the company's attitude has turned to crap.... shifted from work hard and the stock will rise to doing whatever it takes to chase the stock stock. The greatest management decision so far this year is to fire - sorry layoff the "least best" 10% of employees.
