Flip Flop RobMe takes American Flag down the day they flew in our Chinese replacements

http://bainport.com/post/33539176657/setting-the-record-straight-on-the-chinese-flag

What is true is the day the Chinese Replacements were flown in to be trained by the American Employees, the American Flag was Taken Down.....

... Sensata took down our American flag on the day they flew in our Chinese replacements that we were forced to train. They put our American flag back up after the Chinese workers left.....

They didn't fly the Chinese flag, they took down the American flag.

The sentiment is the same, but we have to be REALLY careful with the facts or they will focus on our lack of understanding of the facts, and not the facts.

Ya dig?

Were Sensata executives worried it would offend the Chinese workers?

Was it some kind of symbolic gesture acknowledging that the company was no longer American owned?

What's the logic, if any?

Seems like an episode from "Outsourcing Mission Impossible"

Perhaps the workers were not told they were being flown to the US. Perhaps Romney's Chinese buddies were afraid their workers would defect or ask for amnesty if they knew they were in the USA ?!
