Dave is making money. Don't blame him.

I quit a company for this. We wouldn't give our star performers raises, but they somehow managed to pull off a 7 million dollar one week party for the whole company. It would've been something like 100k per employee had they just handed out bonuses.

We lost a wave of talent after that and their stock dropped 80%. I'm glad I cashed out when I did.

7 million could've paid 100k per employee? Impressive for a 70 person company to host such an expensive party then.

[–] chakan2@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Er...shit...was off by half...it was 50k an employee.

Tf kinda brain dead excuse is this?

Acting immorally is okay if you're making money?

This is truly mind-obliterating stupidity.

Ya… being paid to perform isn’t immoral. Honestly, I hope he took a ton of cash from Amazon for the show.

Amazon is the crowd doing evil crap. Their immorality doesn’t automatically spread to everyone they interact with. Especially, people that aren’t actually aiding their efforts. This one is corporate waste

FFs took a huge paycheck of blood money that they could've easily turned down. They're in it too.

[–] chakan2@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Yes...I'm sure FF is intimately involved in Amazon internal politics. I'm sure they were made aware of every person fired to pay for their show before it was booked last year.

It's a gig. A highly paying gig. They don't fucking care who's in the audience.

Fucking-A, Dave. At least Kurt never sold out.

[–] chakan2@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Kurt wasn't offered millions for a private show.
