Isn’t there something deeply unethical about telling your employees how to vote?
- nullc 6y agoAt least the app isn't prompting them to submit a photograph of their filled in ballot. Yet.
- AlphaWeaver 6y agoThat would be illegal in most jurisdictions.
- ivalm 6y agoIllegality of action didn’t faze Uber before.
- sokoloff 6y agoWell, they’re not employees, so... /s
- avalys 6y agoNot at all. Coercing employees to vote a certain way, or penalizing them for failing to do so, would be clearly unethical. But I don’t see how a company telling their employees to vote yes on 22 is any different from an activist group telling people to vote no.

- dudul 6y agoBut is the company threatening to fire you if you don't vote yes on 22? Are they asking you to prove that you voted yes? I think it's totally inappropriate for sure, but is it that different?
- rbecker 6y agoUber probably saw the backlash to Coinbase trying to remain politically neutral, and decided they had to do this to avoid being seen as unethical. Since there's no such thing as politically neutral.
