Yes, I do have them spending a mere few hundred thousand on a retreat. Are you telling me that the business conducted there couldn't be done in their HQ? Did they need the resorts, spas, golf, etc. to figure things out? Come on, to excuse things like that is ridiculous.
And honestly, I do not care who paid for the ONE retreat what about the others? Also, how come people didn't bash them for these retreats yet bashed the automakers for flying into DC on a private jet? And really if the parent company is losing money hand over fist why wouldn't the CEO's do the RIGHT thing and cancel the lavish spending no matter who is paying for it?
