Of course they value their employees...
I've definitely, as a C level advisor, talked to companies that were extremely clear in that they did NOT value their employees and viewed them as a drain on resources but felt compelled to keep them employed.
Burger King?

Wow. That is kind of blunt. Do C-levels think that they can do better by themselves without the help of a workforce? Just think of the number of hours they would have to spend doing each individuals position just to keep the business running.
Yes, they said that they would not pay for working computers for their staff because the faster that people could "work", the faster that the company would lose money. They felt that much of their staff actively hurt the company by coming to work and that they did nothing useful.
Then why keep the unproductive / unuseful staff around collecting a paycheck?

Exactly - at least with BK, they told you they felt that they where a form of welfare for people.. what was the Marketing Firm's excuse?

Felt compelled to not fire them, it's amazing how many jobs exists because companies feel that they owe it to people.

Yes, but given I wouldn't want to climb a 350' tower in a thunderstorm, I don't expect my ISP to either.

It's not all differences in electrical potential... but the gravity of the wind at that height....
