“Allowing employees to participate in a company sponsored function such as this shows a disgusting lack of sensitivity. … Mocking others is a former of bullying that simply cannot be tolerated in our society.”

NY foreclosure firm: Sorry for mocking homeless
The news comes as foreclosures continue to create a drag on the American economy and protests have erupted around the nation to protest what activists say is rampant corporate greed and influence on government that maintains a crippling disparity between rich and poor.
“I again want to sincerely apologize for the inappropriate costumes worn by some of our employees at our Halloween Party in 2010. It was in extremely poor taste and I take full responsibility,” Steven J. Baum said in an emailed statement to The Associated Press on Wednesday. “I know people were extremely offended and people have every right to be upset with me and my firm.”
Baum later met with Dale Zuchlewski, executive director of the Homeless Alliance of Western New York, who had sent a letter demanding an apology and offering to educate employees on the plight of the homeless.
“Your firm and its employees profit at the misfortunes of others and are an active participant in making people homeless in the first place,” Zuchlewski wrote. “Allowing employees to participate in a company sponsored function such as this shows a disgusting lack of sensitivity. … Mocking others is a former of bullying that simply cannot be tolerated in our society.”
After the meeting, Zuchlewski said Baum reported that he didn’t know about the party at one of the firm’s offices, but that he took responsibility.
“He offered no excuses, apologized several times and has offered to have himself and his employees volunteer for homeless causes on a regular basis,” Zuchlewski said.

As I stated when I posted this on another site a day or so ago, have you noticed that Mr. Baum has said NOTHING in regards to the actions he will/is taking against his employees? As If he didn’t know this was happening??? It wouldn’t surprise me if we don’t eventually see a picture of him participating in this disgusting ‘party’.
Baum is not sorry..he did this for a deliberate intentional purpose….to warp the minds of his employees….fed them a lunch and served his mixture of kool-aid…and sent them back to do more fraudulent work for the rest of the day…..this ‘ dress up party ‘ was not for the public to know….it was done to brain-wash those in his office…a control system….to keep his racket going…..this is not hard to figure out…….
As a Realtor watching all these home owners illegally thrown out on the streets for the past 4 years, while the banksters and servicing companies lied to these home owners saying “Oh yea your good just keep sending in this $ amount per month and your going to be fine, long enough to collect from these home owners as much in pocket then pull the rug from under them and foreclose, while the courts allow this is a shock to what I once knew… These poor people /families /kids /animals thrown out of their home and lied to by these bastards!
Their have been families who killed their entire family thinking their was no other way out, their were people who hung themselves or put the gun against their head and pulled the trigger!! THIS IS MURDER ON THE BANKSTERS AND ALL INVOLVED. They made these people feel worthless, as i said these BAstards.
