I work for one of the large companies whose product or services you probably use every day, maybe even multiple times a day.
One of the top people in my company has stated concretely to his leadership team that he doesn’t “give a fuck” about existing employees’ mental health or burning out. As long as we keep recruiting and maintain butts in seats, it doesn’t matter.
This person is responsible for a massive chunk of this company. He’s not some isolated irrelevant person.
For someone who doesn’t care about his own employees, I seriously doubt they care about China’s human rights record. It’s not that they think China is a bad spouse who will change their ways - IMO at least given my company, that analogy is wrong. They just don’t care.
- allthecybers 7y agoToday's major publicly traded companies have one allegiance and that is creating shareholder value aka profit. So if the company doesn't give an eff about employees in the US, why would they care about supplier ethics or the treatment of workers in China.
- hurrdurr2 7y agoMy current company is the same way. They will pay lip service via HR that they care about their people but in reality, the management decisions show they do not care at all. All that matters is delivering value to the board and shareholders.
