jedimaster Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Wow, I rarely publicly complain about an employer but I am so glad I gave my notice and am moving on. The place I worked at(run in Canada, funded by Canadian dollars) is launching there new website design, with an American theme and graphics of the statue of liberty etc... Does anyone else get particularly offended by companies that try and make it look like they are American? Just annoys me.

Fish4Eyes Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Sounds like the higher ups think it may be a good thing for business. I bet most would do the same if it meant increasing the odds of lining their pockets thicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Of course that's there feeling is to try and make it look like they are American as there business is international. Its companies like this that help to keep Canada down as far as I am concerned. There are very successfully global companies proud of there roots. Just annoying is all. Haha, had a soap box moment I guess. I am all done, feel free to move on. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 United Steelworkers of America. A brotherhood of Canadian workers, none working for Canadian wholly owned companies. Yes it's great to be Canadian, but don't be naïve to think if you stood an American next to a Canadian, or an American or Canadian company anyone could tell the difference. And not many would care, other than the Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
