This time of year I notice a lot of people switching jobs, quitting jobs, or simply looking for opportunities to move ahead in the company. It must be on Eddie in Pittsburgh’s mind, as this week he wants to know what company you would rather work for – Lexcorp or Oscorp?

I voted LexCorp because while Luthor might sometimes be written as a crazy guy, his craziness usually isn’t bringing the craziness right to his front door. Osborne seems to not care where his crazy happens.
Even though both are run by villain-types, I see Lexcorp as being more on the “good-guy” side of things. After all, if you really think about it, Luthor has a point about wanting to make sure the “heroes” don’t tear things up. :)
Same here. Plus, Norman Osbourne is freakin’ crazy.
Went with Oscorp. Both Lex and Norman have been known to kill employees, but you have a better chance of becoming a super-villain working for Oscorp. I’ll take super-powers over death everytime.
ditto.
still… if the building is collapsing after a superhero battle, Superman would be more likely get you out of there unscathed as opposed to mutated.
btw. How are these 2 companies still in business?
Oscorp. I don’t want to work in a building that has a chance of being visited by a kryptonian and their Heat vision. Too much chance of being bisected by accident.
Lexcorp, I’m an accountant, so long as I don’t something stupid like try and embezzle money from the company I should be fine. I won’t be a R&D guy, who Luthor may want to turn into a lab rat.
What? No Galactic Empire?!?!
*sigh* Fine, if I have to choose one of these, I’ll choose Lexcorp for the sole reason that it is in the DC Universe, which will put me one step closer to possible being chosen to be a Lantern (Seriously, I’ll take anything but Black because I don’t want to be a zombie).
I vote lexcorp. Luthor is a genius, plus, he sort of has a point in worrying about having such a powerful being on earth with no checks and balances.
I had to go LexCorp. To work for LexCorp means I Live in a world with Wayne Enterprises which in turn is a world with Bruce Wayne, and therefor a world with Batman.
Aside from that, it would depend on the health and dental plans either company offers.
LexCorp for me. Head to head, Luthor would have Oscorp bankrupt or assimilated within six months.
I vote LexCorp. Primarily because I’m a DC.
The poll might best be reworded as “Given the high mortality rate of its employees, which company might you live the longest while working there?”
I choose Lexcorp because osborne is insane and I feel I have a better chance of surviving Luthor.
While I’m sure that LexCorp would be the cooler place to work, I’m thinking that Oscorp may be a little bit safer. Seems like LexCorp has a greater tendency to experiment on their employees, usually without their permission. Also I don’t recall Oscorp suffering from as much collateral damage as LexCorp seems to.
