I get that issue every year as a study guide to what the world thinks (economy). They're careful in their praise of Exxon (#1 this year, ousting Wal-Mart). Exxon is the #1 by far this year with more profit and cash than #'s 2-5 combined. WOW. In my uneducated opinion (I haven't studied enough of the issue to really form an educated opinion) I feel that during lean-times, even if your company profits greatly, make yourself appear to feel the lean times as well. Grumble and groan with the rest of the company, even if you're pouring liquid gold into your morning coffee.
