You don't pay me. The C-suite pays me. Thanks for making this personal when it has no need to be, by the way.

Personal attacks aside, let's you and me go out to a bar and sing songs of how things should be. Tomorrow, we have to go back to how things are. In the land of how things are, to the business, the disclosure doesn't matter. Full stop. Does it matter to the customers? Oh yes. Dearly. It's a really big deal to humanity. The business and humanity are discrete.

Is that a tragedy? Yes. I weep. I go home and drink every night for this reason. Until I don't want to work for people that pay money, though, you have to think about the business first. Humanity second. Anything else is a fairy tale or communism.
