As someone who has worked in sales for a Bank. I feel like the author is not aware that shamelessness has been a strategy for a long, long time.

- jnwatson 6y agoThere's a different thing going on in corporate culture. Corporations can't feel shame, since they aren't alive. There's a certain amoral one-upmanship in corporate culture that's seemingly immune from any sort of shame defense. For example, someone inside Wells Fargo suggested that they could simply open new bank accounts for existing customers without telling them. If this were an individual moneychanger, they would be shamed by society for being dishonest. Even if individual employees can be shamed (and the best executives have long disabled that emotional response), the corporation can just replace those employees.
- Symmetry 6y agoShame mostly exists within groups, it's much less of a thing for members of a group competing with other groups. Which of course hinges on where you draw your group identity boundaries.
