Unethical business practices can only last so long ... Sadly, no more revenues to cover fines hence continued RIFs ...
Fines + RIFs +outsourcing/offshoring = cost of doing business/more stock options bonuses/stock options for the top. AW and leaders bragged about how much they are saving this "house of cards"...zero accountability or sustainability.!
$1B over 23 year period is pocket change and not even a ripple on the bottom line. Cost of doing business I bet they made multiples of that doing practices that triggered the fines. I bet they can even enter the fines on the ledger as a loss to help out with tax avoidance.
Unethical is the word that best describes and sums up the entirety of this company's business practices. Very sad for it's dedicated employees and for it's customers.
