Corporations exist to make money. And I have no problem with that at all. But corporations are also made up of people.

Polar Bear that profit motive you reference is god to corporation and rightly so. And those nice people you refer to do exist. However its the people who run corporations that matter that control. Have you ever studied what happens when a nice guy (VP) is about to be fired just because he wears hush puppies and does not style himself according to the standard power tie and suit, yet dressed appropriately .And oh he wore braces.
I did and people emptied a room ever time he walked by because they were afraid of contagion and would be fired too. People who broke bread with him daily went to his home, etc. a person who performance wise simply brilliant I could repeat these types of stories over and over again. And that VP with the hush puppies came to me for counseling and to ask for my help.
Knowing I would interfere the president of this company kept me in the dark until it was too late and the matter resolved. because he knew that I would tell hi that he had absolutely no legal basis to fire this VP and he didn't want that on the record. the president and I did have a come to Jesus meeting and of course he had more stripes than me so I knew I was about to go on a suicide mission and used my best Dale Carnegie to no avail/ But this President was too aloof too full of himself ........................
consider also mass layoffs its corporations natural way of survival.
Those nice people you refer to can only be as nice as a corporation will allow. When push comes to shove watch how many remain at your side. Its the human experience So again I say a corporation can't and won't love you back .
