  • Worst "company" in the world?

    Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics?


    29 have been accused of spousal abuse.
    7 have been arrested for fraud.
    19 have been accused of writing bad cheques
    117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
    3 have done time for assault
    71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
    14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
    8 have been arrested for shoplifting
    21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
    84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year


    Can you guess which organization this is?

    Give up yet?



    It's the 535 members of the SOUTH AFRICAN PARLIAMENT - 373 out of 535 = 69.72% The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

    What an amazing coincidence.. we have the exact same number of the exact same criminals in the US Congress.

    A shocking and supposedly comprehensive list failed to provide any sources or documentation.

                    EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEsh I open this thread and expected to see my last employer's name here

                    a family (direct and by marriage) owned, and operated

                    top 2 owners dont have a clue what the medical (EMT) profession is anymore, the HR guy got job by being an investor, same as the PR guy (who pisses off everyone he meets)<-- did wonders for the company in my area of the state

                    next line supervisors, 1 is related by marriage, other is a leftover from a buyout of a smaller competitor whom was fired for stupidity then rehired 6 months later..........:rolleyes
