It is pretty bad when you can get a collection of 101 dumb things in one year but it has somehow happened.
Going through this list, I can’t find a lot to disagree with. Wal-Mart has been a mess, some stunts at these corporations have been a PR nightmare and this is in an up year as far as corporations are concerned.
Some of the worst ones from my perspective were:
2. Northwest Airlines and their tips for laid off workers
17. Team building exercises that involve spanking
24. Swanson’s copy job (and subsequent punishment)
27. Radio Shack employees fired over email
28. Trying to take back an iPod you gave employees to boost morale after they are laid off
41. Home Depot CEO sucking the life out of shareholder value after departing
65. CIA advertising for jobs during The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Some entertaining stuff.
