Maybe, but spare a thought for the ordinary people who would lose their jobs as a result.
They worked at LMG, a highly visible company. They’ll get other jobs no problem.
Again, that may be the case, but it's still not good for people to lose their jobs in the first place.
Especially not in this economy.
I hope every unethical company goes over and everyone who works at all of them remains unemployed for at least 3 months actually. Unethical companies = employees often complacent and part of the problem.
I don’t see why you want to defend this
I'm not defending the company or the actions of whoever is involved in misconduct. But I also don't believe in guilt by association.
Sorry for caring about people's livelihoods.
It isn’t guilt by association. It’s not caring about several people losing their jobs as a result of their employer’s decision to sexually harass women. The few jobs lost isn’t that big of a deal compared to the trauma the female employees were put through. Those people will have no problem finding new work.
Well they said let good people leave the company and then the company to go to hell.
My thoughts go to the dependency on jobs for survival but that leads into a conversation about AI, the end of enough jobs for humans and the need for universal basic income. Job loss doesn't much affect my choice to interact with a corporation or wish for it to change (which may affect jobs).
