CNN Money had an article today about the 101 Dumbest Moments in Business. If you have time to look through all of them, you should, they are very funny. If you don’t, I went through and found some of the ones I thought to be either interesting or funny. The thing that got me the most about these is that it just shows that the $hit rises to the top. There are a lot of dumb people out there running these companies, which gives hope to all of us.
Here is a shorten list:
- Northwest lays off employees and gives them money saving brochures
- Money is worth more melted down
- The main reason I will never do business with Bank of America
- CrackHeads Gone Wild
- 3 Toys for young girls: Stripper Pole with fake money, Tattoo Parlor, and Pussy-Cat Dolls
There were a lot of other good ones. Wal-mart was on there 6 times for some of their business moves. I think my next money making scheme might be to melt down all my pennies. They are worth 3/4 of a cent more melted down!
