If only there was some way that employees could create their own organization that can act as an alternative resources to the companies HR department that puts the employees interests ahead if the companies.

I think the problem here is that you are assuming that the amount that your wife was paying made up for the lost sales of unhappy customers when titles aren't available. The math is not revenue for someone else to rent at normal rate v

Those are nice anecdotes, the data says otherwise. There will always be slackers, they exist in every job and industry.

2 wrongs don't make a right. And again, there was a non-hypothetical, objective argument that could have been made to defend Minsky. RMS did not make that argument, instead he went off on some hypothetical that may or may not have happ

That's not what happened. If RMS had actually argued the case objectively, he would have used reported testimony that cleared his friend. Instead he went off on some hypothetical to excuse the bad behavior (which reportedly didn't

He didn't break the law, nor did he do something worthy of judicial punishment, but that does not mean that he can not or should not be held to account. RMS lost a leadership position, that's all. And Let's be clear, that is

They should all be held accountable, sadly I do not wield such power to hold them to account. That said, while the headlines are sensational, the fact is that RMS doesn't seem to understand what willing means or power dynamics.

Cancel culture, or as most adults like to refer to it, consequences.

Sometimes yes. Leaders are always accountable, but not always responsible for outcomes, RMS was responsible for his actions, now he must be held accountable.

by dlp211 7y ago
Because RMS isn't just another socially awkward engineer. He is a leader and a part of a larger community and is therefore held to a higher standard. The reason for the higher standard is simple, leaders are entrusted with power and ne

This is true today, but it wasn't true in the past, and I doubt it will continue to be true in the future based on our current trajectory. Also, due to inflation, millionaire is not what it used to be.
