You are having a straw man argument I think. I said it merits a discussion and seems highly unethical. I have to disagree that there are appropriate situations where society should allow unethical situations to occur, unless they are extremely necessary, as that creates an unethical society which is dystopian. My way of phrasing that is that society should highly disincentivize unethical situations.
- UncleEntity 4y agoIf it turns out that his being a spokesman provides enough sales to employ 1000 people would that also be unethical? I have no insider knowledge of the inner working of salesforce but I can reasonably surmise that they aren’t paying him to literally sit around.
- alexfromapex 4y agoNo that would be great but I think it’s very difficult to quantify, in an objective way, how much value a spokesperson or CEO brings. That’s the real head scratcher.
- UncleEntity 4y agoMaybe they can employ people to track metrics to determine the effectiveness of sales campaigns and CEO?
- erulabs 4y agoThis was my entire point - it's actually exceptionally easy to quantify, in an objective way. CRM stock price! If the distributed decision making system that is the market decides this was or was not worth it, based on all available information, then we will know!
