Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Sorry I engineered a system that extracts wealth from the poorest and filters it to the wealthiest in a self-reinforcing cycle to emiserate everyone outside my peer group.

Oops-i-doodle! My bad.

A lot of people, not just CEOs, should apologize more for their screw-ups. CEOs obviously should too, but we have a real problem in this world where people think asking for forgiveness is showing weakness.

That would be admitting to a wrongdoing, and would get them into trouble. But also, they don’t see it as wrong, they see it as “business”

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Which is another problem that is not just a CEO problem (although it is a major CEO problem)- people thinking it's okay to regularly do bad things because they're doing them for a good reason.

The ends always justify the means, if the end is to enrich yourself.

Canada thanks you for your service.

This can unfortunately be due to poor work culture a lot, where anyone admitting fault is saddled with all the blame and consequences. A great way to start correcting that is to lead by example from the top, though. Executives can't be surprised if this culture develops if they're always sidestepping accountability.

So they don’t get shot?

Corporate never apologies because corporate never doesn't anything wrong.

Just look at the big CEO of UHC video... Real Brave, must be hiding out in UK lol

I thought those were reserved for pedos

There's probably enough of an overlap.

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 10 points 1 year ago

Oh! We're soooo sorry

Careful or the lemmy.world admins might ban you!

Because if they admit a mistake, his will they get the next job with all those billionaire CEOs out there who have never made a mistake? /s
