I think as long as there is a "new market" jobs can be shipped to
(India, etc.), companies will continue to treat their workers like dirt.
Smart companies treat their people right. I've not run into very many
smart companies.

Well, I think that is true for public companies especially. The company exists because of and for the shareholders, not the employees. It sucks, it really does, but that is the way business is run. If a public company doesn't gain every market advantage over it's competitors the bottom line will suffer, the shareholders will get angry and the board will be voted out in favor of a board that will send jobs overseas, etc.
Motricity let the camel's nose in the tent with the VC they accepted. They might have received more money from this particular investor but now that investor calls the shots. And call he did. He wants return on his investment and, sadly, he seems to think this it the best way to accomplish that goal. Shame too, Motricity had some really good people with great talent. I hate to see it go, but in reality, it's already gone.
