Legitimate question. I can somewhat understand lying for a profit but I think it’s counterproductive to lie when the lie costs you a shit ton of money.

Stop hate beating off to Geeky Sparkles already. We know you like fat ass redheads and blonde neckbeards. But this was about corporations, not Coomtubers.Companies use grifters like Nerdrotic and CLownfish to promote their material. Stop talking about them and don't even draw attention to these companies. Ignore them, and they will DEFINITELY go away.
again stop talking about them no negativity. Saying something is shit and visibily looks like shit makes people want to buy it.
I don’t know of any late or medium sized company that isn’t at least partially woke. By woke I mean ‘feigning activism about some non-issue as a way to deflect from their bullshit.’ What surprises me is that they just lie when they don’t need to and when it’s counterintuitive. They’re so used to lying they do it reflexively. I always assumed, wrongly, that at worst they’d lie to customers, but internally they’d be honest on how to nickle and dime their customers. Naive of me, I know, but I assumed they were at least competent when it came to shaking people down.What kind of lies? Are you talking about woke? I find that companies that preach woke are normally in bed with government and hiding their own dirty laundry.
To be honest I’m used to smaller businesses. I knew large businesses were greedy and incompetent but I over estimated how competent and greedy they are. I was surprised to learn they were ok with not making a profit and in general I didn’t like how complacent they were. I’m not ok with being useless I like to be productive. I still do a lot of gardening myself.@DamnWolves If you've never worked in corporate for a large corporation, I can see how you'd be confused by this, but once you know how these companies work behind the scenes, the mechanism is crystal clear.
Yeah, you’re right about that. It’s always the mediocre people who complain & are very woke/champagne socialists. I feel like they’d be fundies if this was a few decades ago… The ones that produce may still be progressive but they’re not constantly virtue signaling. I was generally surprised to find reasonable people who were progressives that were willing to talk. Then again people who virtue signal only care about being seen, not getting anything done and the only reason I knew some of them were actually progressive is because we’d start talking.In a large corporation, there are a handful of superstars that produce ~80% of the output, and then a whole lot of mediocre people that support the operation by doing shit like selling the product, answering phones, being summer interns, taking care out accounts payable/receivable, and staffing HR. Mediocre people with 8 hours to kill every day are:
A) bored, because they've been doing the same job for 20 years and aren't qualified to do anything else
B) stupid, and disproportionately influenced by what they see on social media
C) generally unhappy with their station at the company and life in general, and
D) conniving little faggots desperate to control their own little corner of the company
So, they spend their time jealously complaining about SJW shit to HR. Shit like:
"We don't have enough blacks around here!"
"The board is mostly men!"
"Someone used gendered language ('guys') to refer to the group!"
"Why isn't the company saying anything about George Floyd when all these other companies are?"
You think I'm joking, but all these are real complaints we've had from morons. The problem is that HR is also full of mediocre people, except the HR leader is usually a VP that's on the same level as a VP of Sales, or a VP of Product Development--on the same level as the superstars that make the company what it is.
I noticed how so complacent many of them are. It’s kinda sad. They’re just there not actually doing anything. I feel like I have to be productive. I don’t know I grew up working hard and being straightforward in any arrangements.So when it comes time for quarterly reviews, the COO/CEO takes all these complaints about company culture from the VP of HR seriously. They talk to their marketing team (more mediocre people who are disproportionately women). They talk to general counsel, who suggests the company takes these HR complaints seriously. So, they direct people to change the messaging, both internally and externally, because clearly, if their every-man employees are complaining about it, the general public must feel the same way. By the time anyone who does any real work knows about it, HR has sent out emails about unconscious bias and how we're going to be celebrating black history month this year and no one intelligent wants to say anything because they understand that the more they complain, the less likely they are to get that next promotion because they aren't a team player.
Again, those mediocre people don't have to worry about that because they don't get promoted, and they've been there so long that firing them would cost more in severance than keeping them.
That is basically what happened. I won’t power level beyond it’s a big company with no union. Multiple lies, and some egregious ones. Nothing earth shattering or anything just infuriating if you’re employed by them. It doesn’t affect anyone else. I kept receipts and proved it to some coworkers… now I can’t go back but I have another job lined up that’s better (and way smaller organization) so it’ll work out. Management was dumbfounded someone would actually have receipts and just wanted me gone but I was leaving anyways. What I’m dumbfounded by is that a lot of the lies were not necessary. Like if they were upfront many of us would’ve taken the jobs anyways. The only reason it became an issue in the first place is because they lied about it reflexively and consistently.Not sure what you're referencing specifically, but without PL'ing too much I am now roped in with unions getting involved with changes that management want to make at work.
The unions wouldn't even be involved if management didn't lie through their teeth and treat every decision as if it is disclosing the location of the Holy Grail.
You’re right. There’s just a culture of lying and covering everything up, essentially group think but on a large scale. They don’t like dissent even when it comes from a place of good intentions and trying to make more profits. I feel like they’ll just discard SJWism once the gig is up just like they discarded being God Fearing AmericansTo answer your question though - profit over people. Even if there's no profit to be made. It's just an inherent culture of putting the visions of those above you before the quality of life of those below you.
Fuck them. Make their life as difficult as possible. Take as many liberties as you can. Show them that their wage doesn't justify the way they treat you.

No one said it's a conspiracy you absolute sperg; it's just the natural conclusion when you give low level employees the ability to level company-destroying complaints at management with little or no risk to their own jobs.Being a huge baby isn’t a conspiracy
