Indeed. Some years ago, also during a California wildfire, I was at a company with honorable leadership. Not only did people impacted by evacuations get all the time off they needed but the company paid for hotel accommodations if necessary.
- benreesman 2y agoThanks for bringing the community another example of a better way and a better time. The word honorable is definitely applicable. But I’d contend that substantially similar values and actions are also effective: they’re also good business. If you’re selling some innovation it behooves you to advocate for people being prosperous enough to enjoy your innovation. It behooves you to maximize the potential of the people working on the innovation. Good treatment of workers creates effective workers who in turn are consumers: a wealthy and prosperous society is good for business if you take a long view. This weird 5-20 year horizon around outcomes is just a small clique of serial killers who have captured the levers quite recently. And it doesn’t matter how many blood boys that Thiel or Altman or whoever leech from: they’re going to grow old and die. And so we should be optimistic.

- coolspot 2y agoSnapchat paid private security teams to help evacuate employees and their relatives from war-affected regions of Ukraine . Never saw a press coverage of this, but know it from those who were helped.
