Splintering off the toxic division as a subsidiary.
For example, Google, the "be evil" toxic advertising-tracking company, is now a splintered subsidiary of Alphabet.
But Amazon and Facebook don't seem much interested in doing the subsidiary thing, at least not to Alphabet scale, so I'm not sure what they'll do instead.
- pinewurst 5y agoGoogle is 90+% of Alphabet's earnings - that's not splintered any more than FB is a splinter of (cough) Meta.
- floatingatoll 5y agoExactly so.
- dnautics 5y agoI believe this model could work, but amazon seems to be a fractal of toxicity. I've heard bad stories from developers, managers, and of course contract delivery drivers, packing and sorting people, etc. Just about everything except for the robots has complained. So you would have to rebrand each division, as something completely different, e.g. AWS => CloudWeb, Store => InternetShopping.com, etc.
