Worst Company In America 2011

Not fair that they stuck Best Buy and Comcast on the same side, they would make for a good final showdown. I figure Comcast will win, hopefully their rebranding crap with Xfinity hasn't helped them.

I agree with this statement, a lot of first-round matchups seem like they could have been finalists against eachother like citibank versus bank of america.
 
How does Dell make it on there and HP doesn't? Seems a little strange to me. They are both pretty much equally good and bad in the same areas. If they are wanting their original brackets to match similar companies, HP would make a much better match than Sony.
 
Eww top right bracket is the group of death... Bank of America, United Citibank and Walmart... Winner will come from there. I vote Bank of America personally... Fuck you!
 
Damn .. there's just too many favorites in this one.

They really should do "conference" tournaments leading up to the big show. The conferences would consist of their industry (ex: TV/Internet Providers, Banking, Cell Providers, Internet Content) - that way the most of these companies can at least win something. I really hate to see so many quality contenders go home empty handed.
 
Pfft Comcast has their entire bracket on lock down.

It's either going to be Comcast vs Chase or Comcast vs BofA with Comcast taking the crown again. Comcast is just garbage and have been for a long ass time. ATT might make the final four but I doubt it.
 
I'm pretty sure that's not even all the companies in America.

I question the scientific rigor involved in this study.

Dell is fresh in everyone's mind where they had the series of Optiplexes (270's and 280's IIRC) which had 100% eventual failure rates due to faulty capacitors. That was barely 9 months ago.

BP if people still remember that mess.

Actually, I thought they did a good job with public relations and clean-up. After the initial
misstep with the CEO, of course. I'm quite sure BP didn't mean to spill millions of barrels of oil into the ocean.

Yes, they did a great job donating $1,000,000.00 to a cleanup project that will cost easily 100x that amount while reaping in huge profits and failing to follow any safety regulations. Bribing regulators including parties at brothels and expensive gifts to allow these grevious safety regulations to go unchecked and having 34x the average 'accident' rate for the industry and 64x the accident rate of 'Shell'.

To top it off, the fact that the whole incident could have been prevented had the 'battery' in the backup system not been removed/replaced with a working battery. That's a bit of a shame in itself. Of course, the continual leaking for extreme periods of time(weeks on weeks) while they tried to literately 'shove garbage' into a hole hoping to plug it up. Has anyone ever seen a toilet overflowing and though. My God, I know how to stop this. Honey, stick your hand in the hole. Problem solved! My work is done. Wait, son, it's still overflowing. Stick your hand in there too, there seems to be a bit of space beside your mother's hand.

At least they had a good PR department that made the CEO pretend like he cared while he was sailing in a Yatch competition, right? Whew. Let's forgive them.
 
Hate to rain on some of your parades but if you think comcast is bad, you clearly never put up with charter. I have had both as companies and comcast is great compared to charter. Also note that charter made the top 15 worst companies list and comcast did not.
 
Two things really pop out at me, companies that created massive ecological disasters, and massive financial ruin. All the rest are pretenders... oooh we have caps of bandwidth now... wow yeah that's totally way worse than what BP did.
 
my local bps have the cheapest gas prices, i guess theyre trying to win hearts back.
so theyre not the worst YET, in my books, lol

Ya man i was on charter for a few years before i moved and got on comcast...charter takes the cake for sure. But as far as my top vote, id say any of the banking companies. How can anyone forget the mortgage company crappers that screwed this nation.
 
Dang, that is one darn good bracket there, I think we should allow one official from each company to have a public debate with ther contestant and then the people should vote! That would be chaos lol
