Morale in a for-profit company is a virtual concept, it simply does not exist in reality. Claiming it does is likely delusionary or an attempt to hide the truth.
- pulse7 4y agoYou are implying that running a for-profit company is immoral. Of course you can run a for-profit company in moral and ethical way!
- usrusr 4y agoThen it's a for-profit-and-some-other-things. And when there is more than one owner those other things better be defined in a legally binding way or else.
- lynx23 4y agoNo, yoou can't. Claiming otherwise is pretty naive.
- pulse7 4y agoTeach me, please... What is immoral if you open your Limited company and sell your programming services to some customers and make profit doing it?
- lynx23 4y agoMake it economically bad times, and the customer a shady actor. Will the company deliberately close and stop offering its services, despite needing to put food on the table? Or will the company just go along and do the coding for shady customer? Now, put a lot of air in that thought-baloon and you will see how basically every for-profit will end up doing immoral things.
- pulse7 4y agoYou are wrong! Not every for-profit will end up doing immoral things in this case! Some will move on to do other stuff...
- sharemywin 4y agoMost people in the developed world are all immoral according this argument. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTsfzLTBuo0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTsfzLTBuo0
- pcthrowaway 4y ago"no ethical consumption under capitalism" is a saying for a reason
- dsfyu404ed 4y ago"Morals" in any organization large enough for responsibility to be sufficiently diffuse is a virtue statement. Every large organization will sociopathically and amorally advance its KPIs. It just so happens that some organizations are in or adjacent to morals as part of their core business hence why the church comes out looking a little better than Monsanto.
- eru 4y agoYour argument works just as well for any other company or organisation. The worst morale failures in history have been perpetrated by governments.
