One thing is that a company does work, gets a fair payment from that, and if you do a lot of work, you get a lot of payment
A whole other subject is when you squeeze every last dejt out of the people you say you work for
A completely different subject is when your company's policies are so bad that you cause untold suffering and literally thousands of preventable deaths.
We shouldn't need not want a vigilante shooter, these people (CEO's of these kinds of companies) should all be in jail for life.
I'm a CTO at a small medical supplier company and I work hard to make sure we're ethical. I can honestly claim were ethnical. We're a bunch of people trying to make life easier for others, for doctors and patients. None of us are rich, but we are passionate and we honestly want to grow the company not by squeezing every cent out of our customers, we grow by just making sure we're the best and fairest. It is very possible to be c level and to be ethical, but it has to be a choice.
Private or public company?
Finally, a genuine and intelligent question. Thanks for that, so far I just got idiots responding
Private, of course.
When having a publicly traded company, it's almost impossible to be ethical. Publicly traded companies should be outlawed. Investments here and there are fine, but the current system as-is is indeed fucked up
Yup, that's where I was heading with that. Its weird how hard it is to be ethical and not get your ass sued for shareholder value issues in a public company.
The way it currently works makes it that publicly traded companies basically MYST be unethical to succeed. It's really strange how any of this is legal at all
