Dave is making money. Don't blame him.
I quit a company for this. We wouldn't give our star performers raises, but they somehow managed to pull off a 7 million dollar one week party for the whole company. It would've been something like 100k per employee had they just handed out bonuses.
We lost a wave of talent after that and their stock dropped 80%. I'm glad I cashed out when I did.
Tf kinda brain dead excuse is this?
Acting immorally is okay if you're making money?
This is truly mind-obliterating stupidity.
My guess is that the argument is that participating in society does not equal endorsement of the system we live in. This is how musicians make money. By playing music to who pays for it.
That said, I myself am of two minds about them taking the money.
It absolutely does equal endorsement.
I’ll make my life harder to avoid companies and people I don’t support.
Have a fucking backbone and stand up for what you believe in. Why should we contribute to the things we abhor?
Do you think you it’s justified perform for these people if they getting paid?
