True.
Unlike some other things that don't love you back, corporations are actively abusive relationship partners. Whether an employee of or customer of a corporation, you are being misled and taken advantage of. There are benefits, of course, but you must be a willing participant to being misled. My feeling is that this is an unhealthy consequence of the relationship.
Sidenote, I can say with some authority that you are admired for your love of ham radio and fresh air, even though they don't love you back.
- epicide 3y agoI'm not at all condoning the behavior of corporations, but the corporation itself is no more capable of having malice for you than a tornado or meteor. A corporation's appearance of hostility is a byproduct of its primary function to acquire things-that-store-value. That doesn't preclude the people within the corporation from having malice for you, though.
- robertlagrant 3y agoNot necessarily store value, but being able to acquire or hire things and people that allow more value to flow through the company. Which are things other people want so much they'll pay for them.
- epicide 3y agoAgreed. It's their primary function, not sole function.
- robertlagrant 3y agoI'm also talking about primary function.
- Clent 3y agoHave you ever been in abusive relationship? A corporation is incapable of causing the harm that can come from a close relationship with a person. To be so caviler about this subject simply to justify your agenda is disgusting.
