Well, to start with, it's actually there to punish criminals. Now, if he was using these funds to buy things for himself, um, yeah... totally with you, that would be theft.
He was buying things trying to generate sales for your company.
Well, was kapernick fired because of a pressure campaign against his employers by a group of people who decided they didn't like what he did? If so, then yes, it was canceled culture.
I think Carano was canceled. They say Disney was looking for a reason to fire her anyway, but that doesn't make sense because it appears Disney was looking to give her her own series up until that point. You wouldnt do that if you were looking for a way to fire her.
That doesn't answer my question. What would you do to someone who was stealing thousands of dollars from your company?
No, fuckwad, he wasn't.
You're a fucking idiot. I'd put you on "ignore" but then I wouldn't be able to see what intellectually bankrupt bullshit you post next...
Well, I never did follow the whole timeline. I didn't even know who Carano was until I started watching the mandalorian. My initial impression was there was no action against Carano until the left started posting on Twitter, THEN Disney fired her, and came out and said "well, we were looking for a way to fire her anyway".Well, was kapernick fired because of a pressure campaign against his employers by a group of people who decided they didn't like what he did?

I suspect that what happened there was they did have big plans to build a new series around her character, but then she kept saying really stupid shit. Then the problem became her comments being a bigger deal than the show itself... so she had to go.
If it was actual stealing, I'd fire them.
If it was a misunderstanding, because of poor direction, I might review what went wrong there and fix it so it doesn't happen again.
What I wouldn't do is file criminal charges, or ruin the man's career because I get off on making other people suffer, like you apparently do.
So he was buying stuff for someone at your customer... for fun? Was the buyer over there really hot and he was trying to get into her panties? Did he think the VP over there looked peckish.... You see, what you haven't told anyone was WHY he did what he did, which tells me that you are leaving THAT part of the story out because it doesn't make you look very good.

First, "looking for a way" to fire someone, and then firing them because of the demands of the crowd can still mean they fired her because of the crowds demands. It may be that Disney wasn't actually going to use her tweets as a way to remove her, even if they were looking for a way, but when the crowd demanded it, Disney just used that as an excuse.
Kind of like how coca cola has been silent about the Georgia law until the threat of a boycot from the left started making waves, then coca cola came out and made a statement. They may have preferred to stay out of it, but were forced into making a statement to ward off a potential boycot.
No, the details are unimportant because nothing; nothing could make what he did excusable. The details, like you, don't matter...

I don't know if they were looking for an excuse to fire her. They probably didn't need an excuse, she wasn't the star of the show. They could have just written her out or got another actress to play the character. I think it was exactly the opposite, they were looking to build this new series around her character, but then she started saying stupid shit on Twitter. The kind of shit that brings controversy when you are trying to make a fun space adventure for the whole family.
Star Wars was a 4 Billion Dollar investment for Disney, which probably means there are a lot of eyes on it to make sure nothing has gone wrong, and a lot of stuff has gone wrong with it. (LIke the entire Sequel Trilogy, which is hated by a lot of fans.) the last thing they need is a third-tier character actress bringing them more grief.

Um, yeah. Not even the same thing. This is holding a company responsible for it's actions. You can't enjoy operating in Georgia and then say you are okay with the states outright attempt to reinstitute Jim Crow.

Holding coke responsible for what actions? Also, sure you can operate in Georgia and be silent. Because coke didn't make a statement isn't an endorsement of the law, some people just prefer to not get involved. There is no legal or moral obligation for anyone to make a statement about anything.
This is where cancel culture comes in. Coke probably was just minding their own business and wasn't prepared to say anything, and the left decided to force them into action by threatening a boycot. This in turn will put pressure on politicians to make changes to the law, because they don't want to upset a major company like that, one that brings in so much revenue to the state. Same with American airlines hub.

History is full of moral tragedies because someone "didn't take a stand".

Awesome. I don't see a problem with this. The real problem is that big business has been underwriting the GOP and their attacks on the working class for years... So maybe we need to hold them responsible when their dog gets off the leash.

Are you suggesting that people should be able to force another person, or company, into taking a stand? How is that moral? I think people should be able to decide for themselves what and where they want to make their voices heard, or not heard. I mean, sure, there is nothing illegal about the left organizing against a company, but do you think that's how businesses want to operate? Always under the gun from the political whims of the crowd?
I agree, NO business should influence politics, but you are suggesting you don't have a problem with coke putting pressure on politicians? Does this mean you also don't have a problem with the NRA putting pressure on politicians?

Naw, they are perfectly able to be craven cowards and have no one buy their products. The problem here is that they are complicite in Georgia's violation of political and civil rights by NOT saying something.

I have a problem with the NRA's existence.
It's an issue of being good corporate citizens. the Georgia voting law is a travesty designed to keep people of color from voting. You can't be neutral on an issue like that.

No, they are not complicit. Like I said, nobody is morally obligated to do or say anything. The left, however, doesn't see it that way. You guys are a "if your not with us, you're against us" type of mentality. "If we don't like what you're doing, we're going to drag you into our agenda, whether you like it or not"
How about just let a business be a business and if they want to stay out of it, they just stay out of it.

People have stayed out of it for much too long, that's the problem.
The problem is that if Coke wants to enjoy the benefits of America, they need to stand up for America.
No, the details are unimportant because nothing; nothing could make what he did excusable. The details, like you, don't matter...
If the details didn't matter, you'd share them... the point is, you are leaving whole bunches of this story out, changing your narrative to paint yourself as the good guy... frankly, it makes me a little suspicious.
I only saw a few episodes toward the end visiting one my children. When she was on the screen it was hard not to notice her.Well, I never did follow the whole timeline. I didn't even know who Carano was until I started watching the mandalorian.

Again, "if you don't succumb to our desires, we're going to cancel you"
Does this mean if ordinary people don't stand in your corner, you're going to punish them too?
I wasn't aware that political activism was required to be a citizen.
The pertinent points have been posted.
You're obviously someone who is a weak leader. You're obviously afraid to hold someone accountable.
Depends on what you mean as a 'boss'. If it is an owner of the business you are working for, then you may be right. If it is a hired manager who fails to fulfill his duties properly, then why not?the right to say something doesn't absolve you of the ramifications for saying it. If that were true, you could walk up to your boss and call him a cocksucker and expect nothing to happen to you
No, but you are trying to force corporations into action, how long before you start demanding that other people take action?Again, "if you don't succumb to our desires, we're going to cancel you"

Businesses aren't ordinary citizens. Next lame argument.

Yeah, but you keep hiding the most pertinant one of all- Why did he do it? which tells me that you really don't want to say why he did it, because it makes your leadership look bad. Either you didn't set clear expectations, or he thought he would be rewarded if his scheme worked.
That you've been dancing around this issue for two weeks now, tells me a lot.
Now, I've never had anyone under my supervision ever try anything like that... because they KNEW what my expectations were.
No, but you are trying to force corporations into action, how long before you start demanding that other people take action?
