22. I love it!
Every one of their 100,000 employees got that memo, and sat there quietly thinking, "what would I write about this company if I did send a letter out? What would my message be?"

There would have to be a good percentage of regular, hard-working decent Halliburtan employees who are, for maybe the FIRST time, searching their own conscience about who the heck they are working for.

So, say I were a low level admin or even an engineer tech or something. Getting a great salaray (woo, excellent raise THIS year, man!), benefits, great life insurance (!), and Halliburtan says, WRite to the world about what you really feel about this company and clarify the record. I might for the first time have to search my conscience.

It's one thing to work with an evil corp, but it is quite another thing to stand up on a pulpit before your ENTIRE community and say I AM PROUD of the shit we do! A lot of people can't lie like that.


I bet some resignations and REAL letters to the editor come from this!
