I love how people are blaming McDonald's—and boycotting them—for the actions of a single employee. How does that make any sense?
If McDonald’s pays their employees a decent wage the employee might not have been compelled to call the pigs.
I think it's great. Everyone with a reason to live longer should boycott McDonald's.
McDonalds could have made a public statement. They didn't
And say what?
They don't endorse the snitching
Riiight. 'Cause that's something any corporation would say, ever.
Kind of the point actually
So, I guess boycott every corporation. 🤷🏼♂️
Like, not even your favorite non-profit would say that. You're literally expecting the impossible.
This proves you wrong
I guess. Not really.
That's not the same as saying "We are against our employees calling the police when they see a suspect in our store." after an employee does that. That's what I'm talking about.
On the other hand, very few corporations would volunteer data without a court order. That's normal. We're not talking about that. We're talking about coming out and saying, "We don't support our employees calling the police on a suspect." That's something very few—or no—corporations would do.
It's two very different statements and situations.
Yeah, not really but somewhat. Anyway I actually enjoyed our debate, it seems we reached the point where we both understand what the other meant. I just come from bluesky where assholes quote post you to death instead of giving arguments to win the debate. Lemmy feels so much better, away from swarms of fans ready to defend their idols
You expected a rational reason for irrational behaviour? It's never going to make sense outside of "it's just virtue signaling."
gestures to Tesla/Musk
'it's just the actions of one employee'
Can you count the owner as an "employee" or is he by definition the "employer?"
I dunno, but he definitely doesn't do any work
