EXACTLY MY POINT.
If the company or person of power had the balls to do what was right they should have been fired. Keeping someone like that is only sinking the ship, not only for you but the rest of the market on the grand scheme of things.
Just like the guy I just linked to. If the county his shop and those 30 knock offs were in was a single company lets say, the knock offs would have be fired, and the company would be selling a better product (produced by the guy taking pride in his work). Maybe the knock off clowns would see this and up their work ethic and try to get hired back and be an asset instead of a hindrance.
