I blame the invertebrates running universities giving these people hope. I support everyone having a voice, even if that is a group of employees. I also support that the Spotify brass could, and perhaps should, fire the lot of them. As I mentioned though, if its enough staff or key staff, it could be really expensive and even critical if Spotify's service was to be disrupted.

You have it personally but not in your workplace. I completely understand what you are saying. I'm sure it is in their employee code of conduct that they can't do/say anything that would harm the product. Still I support them in what I see as a hypocritical stance, even though it may get them fired. Again, with some of the lyrics/messages in the songs available, I have to call them hypocrites. The company may have to worry about the public perception though. I hear Ellen is having some drama with her staff, I don't know enough about it but I think she has been acting like a diva, you can't look her in the eyes and she makes fun of people or something? Anyway, I suppose she could just fire them all but how much would that hurt her brand? That said, I don't know how much Spotify could get hurt by turfing their staff cause what they say goes vs a celeb doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do make a good point, I'm sure they wouldn't want songs censored... or would they? Real debate is going down the toilet. &^@# it, cancel everything and start over. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't doubt many of bogus laundering companies go there as well. BC is more about real estate and casino laundering and front companies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
