		<description>Anyone hear from that old rascal Raman Handa?  Can we assume he is out of the psycho ward in India and starting a new watch company in the homeland?  May the curry be with you...</description>

		<description>I certainly won't gloss over anything that is a matter of public record.  I have worked all over Boston, and not a single place met my expectations in terms of pay, job satisfaction, or adherence to business regulation.  I am indeed biased by my friendship, with good reason, but not so much to deny that every business, especially giant flagship businesses have received their fair share of speeding tickets from the AG.  The AG is after all the person that makes the executive branch of government appear legal, by policing the "corruption" of non-government magnates and officials.

Still, when your business gets Agent Smithed by the Socialist Bank of America, and they decide immediately to rape your business entirely to death in the recession and cut open your mattresses, instead of taking a down payment or allowing restructuring, it's hard for reasonable people to hold a grudge against the owners for protecting themselves.

I think the owner of Malden Mills was the object lesson in how to handle a company crisis over Christmas.  But he's one in a million people.

Hearts go out to normal working people and people who deserve better treatment, personally, mine goes out to the Handas and the employees.  Certainly not all the employees, but some of them.

However, I think the people at OM, the pissed off wannabe girlfriends, the CEO of Boston Mag who tried to gay out the Philly Boy Scouts, and all the fringe parties, and probably Radwan should stop venting their inferiority on here.</description>

		<description>This isn’t Wikipedia. I don’t have to make a compelling argument. This is a filth aggregator started by Boston Magazine because they were sour about their sudden loss of ad revenue. And you all are a bunch of hypocrites who would have stayed at your jobs a thousand more years if the chuck wagon didn’t leave town.

What a tool are you if the place was allegedly so horrible and you worked there for so long?

And what I said was not to be a fairy and jump on a bandwagon smearing probably the only place that would hire you.

I left after a year because I was tired of the BS actually.  I was given a promotion when, after a long term relationship ended, I decided I was going to move back to my home state.  Up until this point I had a few issues with the company besides extremely long hours but it wasn't until I was offered enough money to stay in Boston that issues arose. 

With commission I would be able to sustain a living and live pretty well.  It wasn't until I made sales and the commission NEVER CAME that the entire financial situation changed.  Sales started going missing from people's reports and it was now up to the employee to track sales to force the company to pay.  Even that didn't help.  It would take months for people to receive a fraction of the sales they earned.  If you did any research on the company at all you would see that they lost a case with the Attorney General based on unpaid commissions. 

Your entire post is based on the assumption that the Handa's are honest people.  They are not.  Even that is evident when, during the holiday season, they up and left employees in the dark and without a job.  Everything in this article is FACTUAL.  You are biased by your friendship that means nothing to them unless you serve some purpose.

Oh and I don't need to work for anyone as I run my own business that is doing quite well actually based on honesty and customer satisfaction. 

I will agree on one thing though.  Threatening Amit or the Handa's with violence is seriously uncalled for and in bad taste.  Some of the racist crap on this page is sickening.  While I don't condone their actions I don't believe anything with that sort of message is appropriate.</description>

		<description>Good job with the apostrophe there, Mary.  No, I am a friend of Amit's, responding to the nonsense spewed here which has now gotten to the racist and violent, and has turned into a wholesale slander of Amit and his friends, which means myself.  You can click on my name to see who I am.  Welcome to the internet,  Please enjoy its numerous link functions.</description>

		<description>The Handa's won't be able to open another business because of all the free advertisement they are getting now all over the world.  People now know how they run a business.  I wouldn't trust them!</description>
