A lot of people who have been laid off recently might still own stock in the companies that let you go…
As a stockholder, you get a say in how they run the company.
If you get mail asking you to vote, I'd recommend you take them up on the offer.
Worth also remembering that anything you leave blank puts your vote down as agreeing with the board. Apathy is how every loser wins.
You *might* look at the last question and notice that the board *might* recommend voting against transparency in political spending.
I wonder why they might do that?
Go out there and be mighty fellow stockholders.
