Honest good will. In fact, “good will” is so important to the well-being of companies that it actually has a financial and economic definition

I understand what you are saying but have to respectfully disagree.

I have posted my own personal experience ad nauseum here and I'm not going to do it any more. I will say this as my final statement, there is no "honest good will" in corporate America, it's dog eat dog and may God look out for you should you have had the misfortune of being at the bottom of the food chain by working in the closed manufacturing plants which ultimately fed the corporate managers..........

Dear Hot Tabasco,

If what you're saying is that folks sin, and that some of them sin at work, by supervising others wrongly, by dealing unjustly with co-workers and subordinates (and even superiors), well, that goes back to the Fall, and I guess we'll have that until Jesus comes again.

But if what you're saying is that everyone who works in the corporate world abides by a “dog eat dog” mentality, well, I've owned my own businesses for nearly 25 years, and I just haven't found that to be the case. Some folks are good, others aren't. Some businesses act honorably, some don't.

What I have seen, observing businesses large and small, is that often, the folks who don't act honorably might prosper in the short term, but not so much in the long-term. There are exceptions (or perhaps, we just haven't observed a long-enough term to see them fail).

The most successful companies that I know generally try to do right by their employees, their vendors, and most especially, their customers.

That's what produces goodwill.
