Interestingly, in both current and future workforces, the larger
the company, the more aggressive is the management and employee

employees. “We need to get back to demanding that we hire ethical, trustworthy, honest, conservative employees. That goes back

and shareholders. Overall, most of corporate America has lost this
balance.”
