Well, well, well… who would have thought that the company who said don’t do evil did evil anyway. This is why I don’t trust corporations because their only loyalty is to investors who just wants more money.
Genuinely, why is it so difficult to be a good company? There’s that one company that paid all their workers like 70k and the employees would die for the company.

Are you talking about Gravity Payments and its CEO, Dan Price? Sorry to break the fairy tale but it has been shown that he is some weird, creepy guy who ran his team like a cult and accused of sexual allegations. He resigned over a year ago. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/aug/18/dan-price-resigns-ceo-gravity-payments
