Corporate behavior
The author examines how corporations act to strip employees of their dignity. She says her co-workers are basically hard working and honest, yet the company conducts random locker searches and drug testing. When describing the forced "mandatory gentility" at Wal-Mart, she notes that the result is robotic behavior. One employee states "They talk about having spirit, but they don't give us any reason to have any spirit." What do you think? How can corporations do a better job of treating their employees with dignity? Do you think it will happen?

How can such poor treatment survive in the long-run? If some company gets a good reputation for treating its workers better, wouldn't everyone flock there and they'd get the first pick of the best?
I doubt what the author seems to believe, that corporations treat its workers poorly mainly to recieve some sort of pervse pleasure.
