Employees are the ones with the real power to make this hurt. The customers switching over are easily offset by the DoD contract. But losing talent over this, and having a harder time to attract future talent? That could hurt them
Sam probably expects to solve this by just offering more money. It worked in the past
Yeah, they will have to raise salary by 10% to attract people. This will no doubt hurt their bottom line. Poor starving SV text workers will have no choice but to accept working for them, lest they starve.
Maybe my sarcasm is not justified, but I don't think most people care that that work for a company that does unethical things. In fact I think all large companies are more or less immoral (or rather amoral) - that's just how the system is built.
