        I think you’re wrong. If they actually cared about profits, it would be easy to understand that a healthy workforce is better. But these people just enjoy inflicting misery.

        I said what I said, and meant it. I know what I think, and don’t need anyone to tell me otherwise.

      Please don’t let anyone tell you what you’re thinking. You may or not allow them to present their views, but you are the hm, as W put t, “the decider.”
