    Well yeah, but we both know they are behaving like a company heading for an attempted IPO.

      But that’s why I don’t think the private vs public company distinction is what matters. When it comes to private, there’s a whole class of private equity owned companies that some people won’t even consider working at because of the reputation their cost cutting and flip mentality is. It’s not a black and white private good public bad because only one has public share holders and exchanges.

        It’s definitely not as simple as my quick comment on Lemmy pretends, agreed.
