holy shit. delta airlines lost to abercrombie. also the worst for 2014 was comcast. at leat on the consumerist. but it was posted in april. http://consumerist.com/2014/04/08/congratulations-to-comcast-your-2014-worst-company-in-america/ is that enough time for you to be worst company of the year? unless it's actually the previous year.
you and me both, didn't think that a bad prediction on rain from time to time would make it to the top of the list but I suppose some people can get extra pissy if they get wet.
maybe because i'm in the south east I though time warner for TWC. but I can see how if you live somewhere where time warner doesn't service it could the weather channel.
To be honest, putting EA, Time Warner, Sallie Mae, and Koch Industries in the same bracket kinda rigged the scoring. I mean, how many people really have strong feelings about Johnson & Johnson vs. Seaworld? How many people are that butthurt about lululemon's somewhat translucent pants (Alexandra Kerry says hi) or the Target datahack? How many people below the age of 25 in rural America even know Kmart or Sears exist outside of "Walmart", "other Walmart on the outside of town", and "Walmart one town over completing the job-strangling trifecta of low low wages and illegal pricedumping"? Apparently fat women are more mad at Abercrombie than Delta airlines, but honestly, I think Delta is one of the least bad of our domestic carriers... and who outside of Detroit is still nursing a grudge with GM (oh, probably Fatty McFakeDocumentary living in his big mansion, but he'd forgive Roger if Roger would just supersize him). And Ticketmaster is like, what, decade-old news? Nice to see Halliburton, BP/Arco and whatver-the-hell-Blackwater-rebranded-itself-as didn't make the list...
No, you can't vote mercenary company. Because. What, isn't this common sense? It isn't? Should be! Because!
I feel pretty strongly about good polling methodologies. Less so about the public relation successes and failure of various US megacorps (unless I'm planning to invest in them or something).
I dont understand how the Koch brothers did not got win that with a land slide. Also, SeaWorld? What am I missing there?
I can kind of see what Blackwater/Xe/...Executive Outcomes? Is that what they're called now? Isn't on the bracket, too few people would (sadly) know who the hell they are. Probably the same goes for Halliburton. But they're both evil, evil companies. Its fun to bitch and moan about EA, but whatever petty BS a videogame company gets up to is a joke compared to some of the shit going on.
Aye. And if you think that kids having poor parents isn't their own damn fault you're a filthy commie bastard who probably believes in climate change too. It's the rich who are having the real difficulties, they still have to pay salaries for workers and they may have to pay taxes too, which is just absurd in this age and time. You'd think them schientists would've invented tek-no-logical solutions to get rid of taxes altogether like they destroyed smallpox. Oh wait, you say it's coming back because we're complaining that vaccinations are more dangerous than the diseases themselves? Ah well..
Some of their less - than - savory animal "care" practices came to light last year. I think a documentary too. "Blackfish" IIRC.
Executive outcomes was a much older organization that worked in Africa in the 90's they managed to keep peace in several spots that turned into major wars and ethnic cleansing once they were let go and replaced with UN peace keepers costing more than 10x as much.
