I just don't think they care, and they're under the assumption nobody else cares too.
I work for a news publisher in Sweden, and when we got acquired by a larger one the CTO of that company held a huge speech about why working for a news companty was so much more rewarding than working for Spotify. You get to make sure democracy functions, keeping the power in check. Sure, we can't pay you as much as Spotify, and it will not look as good on your cv, but at least you can go home and get a good night's rest knowing you did good. After the speech, minutes later, it was announced to us that this would probably be last time we saw him since he was going to start working for an online gambling business. Kind of took the air out of that whole spiel.
- jacobush 7y agoThat's sort of hilarious! Makes you wonder, who wrote it, did he laugh at you poor sods on the inside for maybe having "morals" and other inferior things ripe for exploiting with "free" people like him. Or whatever else went on inside that head. If anything in particular.
- pimmen 7y agoYeah, I don't know. I think the dozen or so other people he recruited from us to follow him might know, however.
