Imagine if doing what one loved, the betterment of humankind and the
protection of the world that sustains us was the *whole point* of doing
business instead of profit... maybe prosperity would naturally follow.

I would want Ken to be fulfilled, at peace with himself and prosperous
in what he does and for his customers to be content with the services
performed and in return, show loyalty and gratitude.

I am, as my wife and I have been burned many times by so called and
perceived "caring employers". Been down the road with places of
employment where "we are all good folks... just like family here". My
wife and her family and my brothers and their families *are family*. We
would live and die for each other. Businesses are different animals...
from my experience, most large businesses live and die for a select few
and when push comes to shove, show little heartfelt, genuine concern for
their employees or customer base. Maybe Ad*be is an exception though
I'm skeptical.

If that's true, it's a pity.
