I just finished watching Michael Moore's latest film, "Capitalism: A Love Story". Suddenly I am really glad I left the corporate world to work for myself!
At the end of the movie, it shows Michael Moore's website with the words "Do Something!". It got me thinking because everything we do is something. Every day we choose what we support by voting with our dollars, pounds, euros, rand and the like. Every single time we spend our hard-earned money on a product or service, we are (on some level) agreeing and supporting that company or product. Your currency vote says that you are ok with what it is and how it does business. You agree to how that company treats (or doesn't treat) it's employees.
So what are you going to do today? What are you going to support today? How will you vote? I can tell you I'm looking for an ethical banking establishment that discloses how they lend my money.
Let me know if you know of one!
PS: SPOILER ALERT! One part of the movie, "Capitalism: A Love Story" reveals companies that purchase life insurance on their employees, basically making the employees worth more to the company dead than alive! For a list of the companies that participate, please visit this law firm's site. I choose to no longer support these companies. I'm talking to you too, Panera Bread! Bummer, as I really like your soups...
