What Ed Zitron actually said

  1. Ed Zitron Writer and public-relations executive
    When you care only about shareholder value, the only job you have is to promote further exploitation and dominance — not to have happy customers, not to make your company "a good place to work," not to make a good product, not to make a difference or contribute to anything other than further growth.
