It's not immoral to fire multiple people from a company.
- user_7832 3y agoMy argument is that it's not automatically right either to fire people, just because it is a common practice. Maybe I should've used another example like lobbying or politicians' insider trading as a practice that's common but not necessarily right.
- wilg 3y agoSure, common practice doesn’t mean it’s automatically right but it is an indication that it’s generally accepted for reasons that may be valid. So it’s reasonable evidence to cite, and is a method of explaining that your argument now has to account for the general case.
- user_7832 3y agoI partially/mostly agree, I think it's more of "it's good enough because it's either good or it's close enough to not bother speaking/complaining/doing anything about it". Eg targeted ads are accepted, but banning them takes massive effort and "people can use ublock anyway". But yeah that's splitting hairs.
