we as humans have our own abilities to have views as citizens, individuals and heartfelt people, we don’t need to get the opinion of an iced cream building
have your regular monthly meetings, banks and insurance companies, without announcing your canceling your regular monthly meetings / sending out e-mails letting customers know your canceling meetings - why are you letting customers know you are canceling your ceo and executive meetings that none of us customers would have known you were having anyway - just to state your position. Shameful.
So many businesses who were already doing the right thing by not being discriminatory and who already uphold Good things and who shine just be existing as a company are now drawing attention to themselves about how and why they are good companies during this time. Shut up and be a good company BY BEING A GOOD COMPANY! Don’t tell us your being a good company and have a stance and don’t cancel your already good company’s plans! Canceling your plans and individuals speaking their minds have NO relation, stop getting involved! By getting involved you remove yourself as fair and shining example of equality and good things and become a protester - only instead of protesting a cause you are alienating and protesting against your own customers!
Getting involved by; canceling plans, making statements, ensuring stances, etc, makes you weaker than you could have been had you continued to provide your services fairly. Now you are not a strong company that everyone can rely on, you are basically an individual with a voice - which guess what we have a lot of those and guess what else - all people need our shining pillar businesses and companies to be there for us equally but you ruin that by stripping away your business and company status to become another individual voice, so now all us people with voices have no pillars to turn to, no shining business to rely on and nowhere to turn to because where we would have turned to was YOU, and now you’re not there, your here with us and we can’t find you. You’re a weird version of a human because you aren’t human you’re a building but pretend to have a heart and mind.
This play doesn’t make you respectful or even look like you’re trying to look respectful, it looks like you’re trying to win hearts but you could have won hearts just be being a good loyal, company without this extra ‘stance’. Man I wish to be a company you weren’t allowed to have stances because good or bad, a building getting involved sure is hurtful and divides and loses faith and fails at portraying loyalty.
continue being the same business you’ve been without this irksome, in our face, extra thing your doing tacked on to appeal to whomever.
what does a business being a business have to to with anything other than being a business - With all the horrible things in the world, why only now are businesses acting like their business feel the need to show they’re somehow related -
It’s up to us individuals to uphold and believe in things and to have stances/change. It’s not really an entity such as a business’s place to get involved with things that have nothing to do with it as it’s business.
Actors shut up and act
Businesses shut up and be a business
Products shut up and be a product
Let us individuals voice our concerns and change via stances and action. Entities, professions, businesses, etc, shut up and perform your role - you are not individuals like us humans, you are restaurants, game making companies, amazon sells stuff online it’s not a platform with its own mind and soul so it should act like it cares or has a stance, banks and insurance companies please stop announcing you’re here for us during the trying time - you are not self aware, therefore the human who conceptualized that e-mail or website banner advertisement did it for you.
Honestly businesses should be pillars by being resolute in their products and service and nothing more. Once a business reveals it’s getting involved or had a stance in something outside of itself, it’s not truly just a business but becomes something else
most customers never would have thought a company leans one way or another at all, because a business shouldn’t be in the business of taking sides or getting involved with our human-based issues. Let’s get through these times and evolve as humans together, not with huge buildings and cooperations and companies and nebulous entities galumphing along bedside us. They’re like huge monsters wearing people masks saying you can’t see me, I’m one of you! Love me I want to be popular too.
Btw, making an ANNOUNCEMENT that you’re canceling an event is just as bad as the distraction you claim you’re event will cause. Proof this ‘bowing out’ isn’t from a place of genuine warmth, concern or kindness. Meaning, stop acting like you have a stance, you’re a company, provide service, be a business. Shut up.
