i'm not sure crippling them financially is the best route..... effective, but maybe not the best for the future of the company (if they decide to change course....) it's not like they're a silicon valley company flush with VC money to absorb the losses. they're already saying that revenue isn't where they want it to be....
So let me get this straight, we should keep paying them for poor mismanagement? Would you continue to buy contaminated food solely because it was the only local independently operated grocery store?
Maybe they should focus on the product instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars on LTT ads? Maybe the executives should be forced to take a pay cut because they're bad at their jobs, or better yet, fired and replaced with someone competent? I'm not in the camp of giving money to companies who allow their executives to abuse their employees.
No, i mean give them a chance to make changes before cancelling....
How many chances does he get?
Because this is his first big controversy here. There was praising Donald trump and IIRC also donated.
And how are they supposed to know it's a problem if people aren't cancelling?
By writing to the board of directors first....
This is a non-profit organization... i tend to treat it more like a community i am part of rather than just another business transaction i can just quit and leave any time
Maybe i am just naive
But it's not a non-profit, it's a for-profit that's majority owned (51%) by a non-profit foundation... For now. The board can always decide to issue more shares and dilute the control of the non-profit or the board of the non-profit can decide to sell its shares for whatever reason. It's an unnecessarily complicated ownership structure. Signal is actually non-profit and doesn't have any of these issues.
Also, I'd like to point out that if it was a lower level employee spouting fascist nonsense they would have no problem firing them immediately and distancing themselves from the hateful comments, but CEOs almost always geta free pass to continue being pieces of shit and we're told to give them a chance and that it's their personal view and not the view of the company. It's bullshit. Andy NEEDS to GO!
