They could shuffle them around for 6-9-12 months first... Now they're just saying "you're bad for our company, period", which is demonstrably false. Some people lost motivation for their current project, current team, current manager, current org, etc, they just need a jolt. > Google is a company with a fiduciary obligation to maximize shareholder profits. Yes, both true and also a cop out. We should freaking put it in the legal description of a corporation that they also have social responsibility. Otherwise if you follow your definition to its logical conclusion you end up with the East India Company starving 25% of Bengalis to death because that "maximized shareholder profits" (-.-)

> We should freaking put it in the legal description of a corporation that they also have social responsibility. Until that happens - people should blame the company, it's the system you have beef with. > Otherwise if you follow your definition to its logical conclusion you end up with the East India Company starving 25% of Bengalis to death because that "maximized shareholder profits" Isn't this essentially what we have now? With US companies employing lots of people in Bangladesh & Philippines for like $2 for 10 hours of labor - living and working in unimaginably poor conditions by Western standards?

Companies bribe, sorry, lobby politicians for that to not happen. > Isn't this essentially what we have now?

I honestly don't even know what to say for your comparison. Chill out, think about it some more, ask a friend if you have to, then realize why your comment is both incorrect and also bordering on grotesque.
