I was thinking about corporate Citizenship the other day and was wondering from an economic point of view if it made any sense. Look at it this way. Corps are primarily concerned with the bottom line. They don't really care if their employes are happy. They know that happy employes make better workers but they would be just as happy getting the same level of work from chipped out zombies. I can see Citizenship offered to upper managment as some kind of perk but to the rank and file?

What does a corp citizen get? Not just medical coverage but a special medical facility paid for by the corp, staffed by other corp citizens. Then there are the schools etc.... That's a lot of money for a corp to be spending when they really don't need to.
