- toxik 3y agoThis is not a synecdoche, it is at best anthropomorphizing.
- Veen 3y agoIt's a totum pro parte synecdoche.
- abduhl 3y agoProposing is an action. Being furious is a state of emotion. Corporations can act through their agents. Corporations cannot feel their agents’ emotions because they are unable to feel.
- nimajneb 3y agoPR can express emotion via press releases and interviews on behalf of the company. I would say it's just a way to say the board of directors is furious. Not that the company is sentient, and I don't think anyone thinks companies are sentient.
- criddell 3y agoHas PR expressed something to indicate board member fury?
- anjel 3y agoAlso schadenfreude as a means of engagement...
