It is no secret that the economy has been in turmoil lately. Before this big bailout mess, I will confess I was pretty ignorant about most thing stock market related. I don’t have stocks, so I thought, ok how does this affect me? Then I thought about my 401K, and yes, of course it affects me. Maybe not as immediately as some but it does. Then when well known banks started failing, I got worried.

Luckily for me, my job is intact. I don’t have to worry about my company being bought out by a larger company. I stumbled across a blog by Dennis Carey that got me thinking. Mr Carey on the human capital of a deal, talks about when companies merge to make a big profit, forgetting how it will affect employees. Sometimes I think big investors forget that the their employees are what make a company. If they feel neglected, like Carey said, they’re going to take their stocks, and jump ship.
