First l will start with a few quotes from the CEO of an Australian shoo company and then present you with the reality of the shoe company to show you the disconnect between what they say and what they seem to do.
The fancy talk that baffles brains
"It is a testament to our loyal customers that our business continues to go from strength to strength seven decades after we sold our fist pair of shoes"
"We are proudly Australia and continue to keep our headquarters here in Australia".
"Having our own retail strategy and not being forced into the competitive retail promotional calender has allowed us to build a reputation".
"rarely you see ****** ***** on sale"
The sad reality
The "strength to strength" of the company certainly isn't in product quality, and it certainly is not giving Australians jobs making the shoes. Here is the dress shoes they make, a shadow of their former selves:

They may have shipped production to China and sacked aussie workers and ordered production to be cheaply made, but at least they are Australian owned and have their head office here in Australia. They must be so proud. *sarcasm is case you missed it*
They claim they "build a reputation", but sadly the customer reviews scream something completely different!!! OUCH!!! The reviews have to be seen to be believed:

They boast about being in so many countries, but why would they be so proud of such mediocrity. This is the thing with so many CEOs these days...they drag things down to the lowest common denominator and make life stink more than it needs to because they create such forgettable things that no-one in their right mind could be proud of, and they make it out to be a good thing. Does he really think people are stupid enough to buy his propaganda??...well, it looks like the public have spoken and the CEO has a big disconnect between his propaganda and the reality of what he is in charge of.
Don't these type of guys make you feel sick?
