er yeah, corporations don't work like that, the uproar was half a world away, and the local office responsible for that area was closed. Companies shut down things making money all the time, my division of a company was put up for sale, CHEAP because even though we were making millions a year (more than City was according to the financials at the time) we weren't meeting the acceptable profit that had been set by the Executive Committee for all assets (then the global market prices changed and now we are, and suddenly we are no longer for sale)
Making money is NEVER enough in the corporate world, you have to be making the right amount of PROFIT
