That's a non-nuanced take. A- properly wielded shame isn't targeted at corporations usually, it's targeted at the individual members responsible for corporations. B- corporate culture and "decorum" culture have made shame almost exclusively the domain of religion. Whatever example you're thinking of as corporate shaming, that's not what I'm referring to. I'm talking about the lost art of shame.

Rarely do decision makers have the latitude to make sweeping changes to corporate structure and direction based on their personal feelings. A board of directors would remove such leadership.

Give me an example of what you're talking about then, if I'm off piste.

Got no examples for you. Doesn't seem enough to justify not trying to me. I'm not of the bend over and take it mentality, I'm of the do anything we can do mentality.

So, to clarify, my take around the realities of what effectively motivates corporate entities and their controlling directors was non-nuanced. Whereas your "be the change you want to see in the world" take, that you cannot support, is what you would consider nuanced?
