The context is NameCheap's CEO gave Russians and Belarusians "one week to get off my platform, no refunds" a few days ago. This was of course a very crass and inappropriate emotionally-charged response to Putin's little war, and many customers are interested in finding a more responsible & reliable service provider that won't endanger them so needlessly. I hope NameCheap grows from this experience. Communication is difficult at all levels, and it's become easier than ever for our emotions to govern how we act as individuals, companies, and governments. Slow down, communicate, and listen.

How about giving people a little slack on being emotionally charged when most of their employees are in a war zone? Guarantee their employees were pressing for this and in the big picture it's not fair but it's nothing compared to what they're going through and makes them feel like their company is on their side

  > How about giving people a little slack on being emotionally charged when most of their employees are in a war zone? I didn't know that. But if that is the case, the company could have offered them money and support to relocate somewhere out of the war zone? That is rational and humanitarian, and probably would get them better PR among non-ideologues.
