This hurts their engineer recruitment in the US - which isn't in the shareholders best interest.
- stuff4ben 7y agoI doubt most shareholders care about that at all. Feeling good vs making money?
- zentiggr 7y agoSo shareholders are the problem. Gotcha.
- MiroF 7y ago> I doubt most shareholders care about that at all. Feeling good vs making money? You don't see a connection between Facebook's recruitment of engineering talent and Facebook making money? It's almost as if you didn't read my comment.
- stuff4ben 7y agoI read your comment and I disagree. That's a tenuous connection between shareholders caring that a subset of potential FB engineers will not want to work there on moral grounds.
- MiroF 7y agoLikewise, there are probably few shareholders who have spent much time actively considering FBs role in Vietnam. Like it or not, FB has to deal with a tight labor market, and things harming their image mean that they have to pay more for the same level of talent. Tech companies are extremely aware of this dynamic, even if their shareholders are less so.
- enitihas 7y agoThat is pure fantasy. If engineers cared about fb doing shady things, fb had already done enough to tilt the scales.
- MiroF 7y agoEven if it's small, this will hurt hiring at the margin. I make job/offer selection choices based on considerations like these especially if the pay is comparable, although I have some tolerance for behavior I don't agree with. I'm sure at least some others are the same.
