| Is it a fair point to say that the meaning of love here could be interpreted in so many ways, depending on whose vantage point you are viewing it from. One could certainly love (or like) a corporation if that company provides some meaningful semblance to one's life. For example, if you are that company's employee and you have been well-provided with means to live a comfortable life while also being aligned with your values, I can't even think how you will have an ounce of contempt for that organization. If the company provides you with products or services that enhances your way of living, then definitely there would be room for adoring them due to the positive impact that they have. In the case of the OPs example, the company will be enforcing actions that have different repercussions depending on where you are on the side of the fence. If you are from the outside where you publish products or services that needs to live within the company's digital ecosystem, then surely that additional tax is an impact that will hurt your finances overall. Anything that hurt your finances will a chain effect that can hurt your business, your decision making, and to some degree, your well being. Its different when you are within the walls of that company. That additional margin would likely translate to increase compensation (if you are an employee) or better profit (if you are an investor). The thing here is that, loving or liking or adoring a company hinges on how it impacts your personal bottom line. At the end of the day, the rationality of the decision is based on what each entity perceives as what is best for them. What's best for someone may not be the best for everyone. And that's reality. |
The company does not return your feelings, and you'll be shocked when the layoffs come out of nowhere.
