I hate big business

[singularity75]

We all know oil companies are over charging us for oil/gas/etc. Then they keep making record profits. The latest by Exxon setting a record for biggest profit ever by a company, $40.6 billion last year (eclipsing their own record from the year before of $39.5 billion). What is truly annoying is how they treat their employees. In each of the last few years they keep telling their employees that they are losing money and can't increase their pay or benefits and that they can't increase safety/replace aging equipment/reduce gas emissions/etc at refineries because they are losing money. Riiiiight.
