morality vs. greed

At what point does a company find itself valuing the bottom line over the bottom employee that helped them get there? Enron vs. a Wells Fargo of sorts. At what point does a company consider the employee inferior to their own objective right to profit? Greed exists in business only when the disconnect happens. A point occurs when a company no longer sees any value beyond what they currently provide them. They and I wish I had a better term), find value and inefficiency in the same employees. The finite difference in a valued employee and an inefficient employee is when they become dissatisfied and when the the valued becomes inefficient. They then become dispensable. The valued has no upward movement available to themself and no longer sees a value in themself in trying harder to increase their development. Therein lies the problem associated with business as I know. The business environment should constantly reward the intellectually challenged for wanting to learn more. But it seldom does. Instead of the old business model of being satisfied with the triangle way of doing things, the flattened out business model should take affect, if only to further the broad knowledge that many unknown people seek. View the underlings as valuable assets that can be replaced in their jobs, but not in what they know about the overall structure and what insight they can provide. Corporate greed may sometimes be about money, but it usually tied to the fact that they don't listen to the people that make them that money.
