Enronitis [1]
Submitted by Sheldon Rampton [2] on
In the wake of the Enron meltdown, Business 2.0 magazine is running several articles offering "free advice for the suddenly non-credible," in which PR gurus offer their recommendations for helping clients who have been caught lying, cheating or committing atrocities. Perhaps the most interesting comments appear in the reader response section [3], which invites people to comment on the financial status and standards of their own companies. Most of the responses suggest that Enron is not an isolated case. "Integrity is a handicap," comments one reader. Quips another: "My company juggles the books so much they should start a circus."
