The one thing David gets right is that I would prefer civil war to a generation of Democrats abusing power and siphoning tax dollars through corruption and replacing American people with a permanent subject class that works for low wages.
Possibly based, but more importantly leadership is strictly non-partisan. They were infuriated a vendor would abuse our private internal emails by spamming a political screed out to all of us. The message was not run by or approved by my company and they called it an abuse of trust. Our emails are not given to this vendor so they can push political opinions.
Once you get high enough in the Fortune 500, the bullshit political games tend to stop (there are exceptions, but nearly all of them are in the tech sector. Even there, you have firms like IBM, Intel, Oracle, Microsoft, and more, which are often based as fuck depending on what division or department you're in.)
I figure that once a company's revenue surpasses $1-2 billion a year and it's not in the tech or entertainment sectors? The Board of Directors tends to grow the fuck up and realize that buying a senator or two is cheaper than virtue-signaling, and you keep more customers that way.
I can't stand it when people proclaim their politics at work.
There's a lady who has a political statement pinned up outside her cubical to the effect of: "I voted for the lesser of 2 evils 4 years ago and now I'm voting independent"
Beyond the specifics of someone's political leanings, talking about politics (or religion) at work that way is just tactless.
David Barrett is the founder of Expensify, the lead engineer of Red Swoosh (acquired by Akamai, from which he was dramatically fired), and all around alpha geek. David started programming when he was 6 and it has been his primary activity ever since, with a brief hiatus for world travel, technical writing, project management, and now running Expensify. David is married to an opera singer, and has without question the cutest beagle known to man.
He actually discussed it with his workforce, took advice from them on what to write in it, and held a vote on whether to send it or not. 2/3 of the company voted to hit "send".
At least that's what he claimed in some article about it that I read this morning.
i wonder how many people in the middle undecided were disgusted with the hyperbole and voted the opposite out of spine. i can only hope thousands 🤔🤔
you mean in our favor or the opposite ?
It wasn't "fear mongering", he's just telling us what they have planned.
It's not like we didn't figure it out already, though.
FTFY.
Should also file with the FEC. Seems like an in kind donation to Biden. Are they registered as a PAC?

They literally want to rape our children, try to convince little boys they are girls. If that isn't worth fighting against nothing is.
Mine too. Heard it direct from our CFO today. We have hundreds and hundreds of employees. And.....we're a Silicon Valley company.
Good. No company should abuse client information like that. The CEO should get jail time for this.
i would love to see him lose half the customer base, then lose the election, and have his entire life tarnished as that guy 😂
And then get jail time.
Nah - better to sue them into oblivion.
Best yet for Trump to win so you know he actually cries about it.

and quite right too...
realistically, there's a lawsuit (or three!) in this, if they chose to pursue it.

They are more common than the woke ones.

Once you get high enough I think it stops of being about political control and more about World control

What is the alternative for expensify?
Concur is vastly superior, but Abacus, Certify Expense, and Zoho Expense are also decent competitors.
The biggest boy of their sector for starters - Concur. It's owned by SAP, and is fully integrateable with Salesforce.
I literally photograph my receipts, and they automatically fill out my expense reports along the way.
Holy crap. I love technology.
Agree. Concur is awesome for the automation.
Most known I think is Quickbooks Enterprise and Sage Business. There is quite a few alternatives.
Expensify is expense reimbursement app. Quickbooks and Sage are accounting software, am I correct?
My company is based. All executive management, admin, supervisors, etc are pretty much lock step in agreement politically.
No one would even DREAM about sending a politcal email, much less a politcal suicide stunt like this.
This guy isn't just a moron, he is the
KING OF MORONS
Kind of strange that Joe is "so far ahead" and yet ceo's are willing to burn their career to get a wider margin of election security.

Umm, so which one did she vote for?!
"Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!"
It’s a YouTube link to “Instant Karma” but I think it won’t embed, you have to click the link to launch in separate browser or app.
Is Yoko wearing a maxi pad on her face?
LOL
That's called PERFORMANCE ART. LOL. People with too much $$$ on their hands PAY to see that crap.
Get fucked commies
No doubt he just caused half his company's customer base to go elsewhere. I believe the term for that is "going full retard". Never do that.
You commies removed it

The cringe is stronk here!
He must have been drunk. No sober person could be that stupid.
He actually discussed it with his workforce, took advice from them on what to write in it, and held a vote on whether to send it or not. 2/3 of the company voted to hit "send".
At least that's what he claimed in some article about it that I read this morning.
If I hated my job I'd say "send it" to watch everything burn.
Let the mass firing of Expensify begin!

Where's the inevitable mirror?
