I don’t know. I live in Minneapolis where this company is headquartered, and even the tone around my admittedly corporate circle is something akin to “you make your bed, you sleep in it”. He was apparently a nice and well-liked guy, but I’m not seeing a well spring of sympathy.
But also, why would you want to participate in the active ruining of people's lives. If you realize your work is doing that you have a choice, bear responsibility for the suffering of thousands of people upon your soul and face the consequences, or leave. It's not like we're felons fighting to get hired at wendys. Jobs exist, we have 401k's and stock plans and get paid insaaaane amounts of money. Simply be responsible with your financial savings so that you can be responsible with your work. None of this applies if your financially troubled. But financially troubled people aren't the ones building the abstracted death camps and job eating machinery.
Reminds me of the statement, "ain't no song called Fuck the fire department". Stop participating in oppression and murder and people will stop hating you.
Everyone i know is celebrating it. Our view is that these rich executives cannot be allowed to oversee the vast generation of suffering for a profit that only they get to enjoy, built on a suffering that only others have to face. All of us would settle for a share of the profit, but they won't do that, so what can we do besides share the suffering. His family is experiencing a mere fraction of a fraction of the suffering he has overseen and is responsible for. His family wasn't responsible for his actions and I'm sorry for them. Why would i be expected to defend a mass murderer though? You seem to be forgetting the effective murders his company are committing against the most vulnerable populations. I'd love to get some real stats but i personally know the death toll is at least 1.
