Something to think about:
The right thing to do is the smart thing to do...
In today's world decency rules; and is more important than ever. For example: If business is tough and you need to let people go, do it with grace and decency.
It is not only the right thing to do but also a very smart business thing to do. When you make a list of all your "customers", don't forget to include ex-employees on that list.
