who gives a fuck about companies?
People whose entire personality is what stocks they follow.
To the moon, bro!
I work for one and hope it goes well enougs so I can get my money for the work I'm doing.
Maybe the people who lose their job when they go under. That being said we shouldn’t prop up a bad business just because people might lose their livelihood
Companies also include small genuinely good startups and a dishonest negative review could ruin them.
Yes. Everyone agrees.
There's a different way to look at companies. They're not just profit-making entities. They are ways of organizing people to accomplish things nobody could do on their own. The profit is just there to keep the lights on and pay everyone a living wage.
Our current system doesn't encourage that approach, but that's just a problem with the current system.
People with jobs.
I have one, still don't care about the company or bad reviews about it when they deserve it.
Ok? "Caring about companies" only means "caring about your job and income and benefits" it doesn't mean "I wonder if the CEO is happy"
how is that then caring about the company? This is clearly caring about yourself...
I care that my company continues to exist and does not experience financial hardship that will impact my income.
How is this hard for people?
Because it's the equivalent of saying society should not stop using coal or fossil fuels or those people who pump your gas for you because "what about the employees????". No, the world needs to move on.
If your company produces shitty products that people don't want, then they shouldn't exist and you should find a different job rather investing your livelihood in such a bad idea.
This is the equivalent of telling people to "just move" of their home town sucks
Consideration is required; it's much easier to be a knee-jerk contrarian one supposes.
I also care that whatever company I work for moves to take corrective action as well. This isn't at all difficult to think through.
