Comments on: Above all else, the company is ok! http://www.jbwan.com/2008/11/17/above-all-else-the-company-is-ok/ Jonathan Brazil's view of the world Fri, 09 Sep 2011 20:41:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jonathan Brazil http://www.jbwan.com/2008/11/17/above-all-else-the-company-is-ok/comment-page-1/#comment-335 Jonathan Brazil Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:44:52 +0000 http://www.jbwan.com/?p=857#comment-335 Well the post practically echoes exactly what you say - it should be all about the families and friends who have suffered an incalculable loss. At the time of writing the release on the linked website did not contain the further update that it now does and it appeared on prima facie to be very cold in a time of great hurt and pain. That was what prompted the writing of the post in the first place. As for doing homework, the post reflects the original website release very accurately and that was the focus of the posting. You'll note that the company wasn't even named by me as I didn't want to draw attention to the company name. We may come from different systems of belief on this last point but I find it shocking that anybody would require a status report on the company to be released to the general public rather than just shareholders. To me it shows a very shallow aspect to society that such a thing would be requested in a time of unthinkable tragedy. I'm sure that the thoughts of every right thinking human, and certainly my own thoughts, are with the families and friends who have suffered because of this horrific event. Our deepest sympathies to all who have lost loved ones. Well the post practically echoes exactly what you say – it should be all about the families and friends who have suffered an incalculable loss.

Please, please, please, please, please don't blog about this without doing some homework. You are doing enormous damage to people who have been seriously traumatized. The press release can be viewed here http://furrier.org/2008/11/17/siport-shooting-killer-missed-his-target/. So say we all. As for the 'company being ok' stuff, that is coming in direct response to questions like, "So, are you out of business now?" or "People say that it will be impossible to recover from this, right?". Like the spouses of the slain employees, the company is in deep mourning. The employees at SiPort are a tight knit group and they want to see the company survive. And they will do so after they pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. And what is wrong with that?
