He seems like he wants to be a better CEO and have employees volunteer but I wonder if this type of business leader ever actually wants to empower their employees by unionizing them? Or giving them the day off to vote? Encouraging regulation on their own industries? Not financing lobbyists?
Not to say he’s a horrible person, just the corporate system we have seems destined to take more and more power away from the avgerage joe.
- briandear 8y agoGood grief. Salesforce people are well paid. They can take a personal day to vote. For many people, working at Salesforce is a dream job.

- drivingmenuts 8y agoOpinion only, so take it for what it's worth: Wanting to unionize is something that should come from the bottom up, and in my mind, is usually a sign that there's a serious disconnect between corporate leadership and employees. A few disgruntled employees is not indicative a major problem within a company and if there's no major problem, why form a union? Salesforce pushing for regulation on their own industry would be seriously harming their customer base, since their a service provider, not a marketing company themselves. If there was to be a call for regulation in an industry, it would be one or two steps removed from SF. Lobbying is a fact-of-life in competitive industries. It sucks, but it's absolutely necessary to survive at the level they play at, given how much economic power they have and the legislators they have to endure.
