McDonald’s pulled the plug on an internal employee site that offered financial and life advice, due to what media was calling an “embarrassing gaffe”. The main example used was the one below. Read this, and tell me if I’m wrong. Is this not an extraordinary statement by a major world corporation that essentially says “we provide a service, not a way of life”? And sadly, such a rare example of a corporation wanting people to understand the “spirit” of the service they provide, is considered a “gaffe”. The media constantly talks about how the climbing stock markets only benefit the “1%”, and how the rest are being screwed. And yet, they turn around and attack a company for trying to provide wisdom because of what it may do to their stock price. Ironic no? Randy
