MODERATORS
$12 million is nothing for them.
Full asset seizure (home, car, every last cent) and at least 10 years mandatory live-in community service de-mining work for executives would be far more effective.
That’ll teach ‘em! Problem solved,
$4 M is nothing. It would be far more effective to target the executives who implemented this scheme. No one is going to risk getting assigned to 10 years mandatory community service as a live-in junior janitor at a infectious disease institution for a slightly bigger bonus.
i frequent their online storefront almost weekly. there's still (and always has been) instances of the practice on their site.
and they are hardly the only ones that do it.
Well, after that hefty settlement payout, I doubt the average consumer will be fleeced by these practices ever again!
Does HP do anything right anymore? Why are they still around?
I believe the enterprise variant of HP is doing fine (it's a separate company that was split out from a common HP, but they are still called Hewlett Packard Enterprise).
