    They’re customer support. They’re not making decisions at the company, they’re just trying to pay their bills.

      They’re working for a Nazi company. If they’re not starting the job search now, they’re probably not far from looking into one of those shirts themselves.

        Right now it seems a lot like we’re in a nazi country. Did you move out or stop it?

        If you lived in a shithole one-room apartment in Bangalore you shared with 10 people but the meager pay from the call center job you have allows you to have two meals a day if you’re careful what you buy, you’d “just follow orders” too.

        Because being in a company that sells such a shirt cuz you gotta pay bills is totally the same as partaking in the holocaust.

          The road to the holocaust included selling armbands with the swastika too. But that wasn’t even the point I was making.

          I’m going to let you in on a little secret, large companies are not run by shareholders and management, they are run by the workers, even if they don’t realise it.

            These workers don’t work for Shopify. Companies like Shopify contract out to call center companies. I’m not sure why that isn’t clear to you.

            These people are probably not even only fielding calls for Shopify. It’s probably one of a dozen different companies they have to take calls for during their work day.

        Not everybody is privileged enough that they can afford to put their morals before their rent, and that’s no fault of their own. You’re upset with the wrong people.

          Hell, we see tons of keyboard warriors wanting to eat the rich but how many billionaires have been shot in the last year?

          One.

          OP would be the first to keep his job in their situation.

            how many billionaires have been shot in the last year?

            Zero. Everyone keeps calling that dude a billionaire but he was only worth 44 million. Luigi’s family has more money than him.

              Oh really?

              That’s even worse! Billionaires shouldn’t exist and if they do they should live in constant fear for their lives.

        It’s not uncommon to watch a corpse float down the river or witness a bisection via train in India. I don’t think the chat staff cares. But using them as a barrier against rightful criticism is worthy of being called out or more

        What I (and the people working at those call centers) would give to lead a life as sheltered and priviledged as yours.
