Eh, maybe? It "worked" in that they're choosing to not renew the contracts over the next year, but he admitted that over the last year employees have been fighting for this and have been ignored until now, which is pretty shitty. For revenue that appears to be only $95k USD (the amount they're earning from the contract that they're instead going to match to charity)?

There are two ways to get something right:

1) The first time

2) Later than that

They did the second. It’s sucks that it isn’t the first, and it sucks that they didn’t pick the right horse during the race up until this point. But they changed their mind, openly and in plainly spoken terms.

“Worked” doesn’t need a qualifier here. Their failure to implement #1 correctly, and their pivot to implement #2, will help them serve as a lesson to others.

Also:

1. Insufficiently.

2. Sufficiently.

The question is on this aspect.

> They did the second.

No, I disagree. What they have done is literally the minimum amount of effort.

The right thing to do is not to "continue to do what we're doing, offering a passive promise to not get more money."

What is the right thing to do?

Resign and cancel the contract.
