I recognize that you understand it as an act of charity. That by giving much more than necessary to employees, he is pro-employee. He is legally entitled to the profit, after all.
I see it as: his employees created the vast majority of the profit he enjoys. He didn't work thousands of times harder than his $15/hr workers after all. I'm not making a moral judgement here. Notice I'm not saying what he should or shouldn't do. But I think it's a mistake to call him pro-employee.
In fact I do applaud his personal actions. We both understand the employees are not entitled to the profit. His giving back is a wonderful move for his employees. He seems like a wonderful CEO to work under and probably a great person.
- gameman144 6y agoMakes sense, I think that setting aside the moral judgment, our disagreement might hinge on what denotes a "pro-employee" individual. I'd be curious what an example of that might look like in your view (genuinely curious, trying to understand).
