Not saying to disregard ethics.
>you try to skimp on paying your employees, they will find ways to return the favor.
That would be included in the cost/risk part. If the cost/risk of skimp on paying your employees < benefit then they should do it.
- jchw 6y agoLooking at the world through the lens of only corporate cost/benefit and essentially disregarding externalities feels unwise. You could always just follow the rules as they were intended to be followed, not end up in the news, not pay court fees, and have happier employees, regardless of if your bottom line will technically better at year-end. (I know roughly ~nobody actually does this, but wishful thinking.) Regardless, at this point you seem to basically be saying, "They should do it, unless it's not worth it." Everyone else is saying "It's not worth it, and that's why they should not do it."
