- inetknght 6y ago> taught in business school The school is ethically wrong here.
- robertpateii 6y agoNow we’re back to the opening comment: who’s job is it ethically to ensure people receive a living wage? The companies that employ some people or all of us?
- inetknght 6y agoMost people don't have leverage to negotiate a fair compensation for people to do it on their own. So you're presenting a a false dichotomy. "all of us" includes the companies that employ "some people". For better or worse, America seems to reject the idea that "all of us" means the government should help people out through taxes. That therefore leaves that companies must do it.
- Fellshard 6y agoJust realistic, not idealistic.
- gsibble 6y agoExactly. This has nothing to do with ethics and the school wasn't wrong from an economic perspective, which is what you learn about in, ah, business school.
- Fellshard 6y agoFurthermore, there's a presumption of ill intent - a question begged: do all employee replacements occur because the employer unethically fires their employee?
