The first thing they'll try to do is get back some workers that they let go, but many of those people have already taken career turns.... Companies are being very shortsighted at this point."

It will serve the greedy bastards right too, what goes around comes around.

There's a new attitude among college students, at this school anyway. There's more of them, they are studying hard, and there's a lot more taking the more difficult classes like upper level math and philosophy. It's looking good for the literate workforce coming soon.

He worries about all the people still being left behind. One day a young Latino came in and asked the receptionist if he could take an application home. She asked him to fill it out in an adjacent room, because the company uses the form as a literacy screen. When he came out, two hours later, he left it with her and scurried out. He had written only his name. Fowler heard the story when he happened by the receptionist's desk and noticed she had been crying.

So did he buy him a ticket back home?

"Fowler looks beyond his own company, too. He participates in local workforce-development initiatives and advocates for everything from education reform to more government funding for training."

Sigh. No this guy isn't "looking beyond his company." He's probably sick and tired of wasting his own money educating his workers and wants uncle sam to foot the bill. Nice huh.
