    Looks like they turned down a contact with ICE a few years ago under a different CEO but Irina Novoselsky accepted one last year and is now chasing more. Looks like the first was for 95k. Really who sells their soul and jeopardises the companies integrity for that. Tells you a lot.

    I feel for the staff but it looks like the sales team was chasing this. I hope the measly sales bonus helps them sleep better.

    That’s how it works. A CEO of a comany that they’re not the controlling shareholder works for the major shareholders. Most major shareholders’ primary goal is to continually increase the return on their investment. If the CEO doesn’t do that, or another candidate convinces the shareholders she can do more, the CEO is replaced. It doesn’t happen quarterly, it doesn’t happen in every company, but it not happening is more of an exception than the rule. It’s what CEOs are graded on. A recent obvious example of a bunch of those selling their souls is Big Tech going full support for Trump.

    E: Been in large Canadian and American corporations for 15 years now. This is the best model I’ve seen that explains what I’ve seen inside. There are all sorts of exceptions and differences in degree but on the whole, it still has the best explanatory and predictive power according to my observations. YMMV

        I don’t see a way to contact Hootsuite on their website to complain.

                Doing evil shit should have a social cost. We need to be boycotting and generally making the life difficult for any canadian company profiteering from trumpist fascism.

                Exactly. If I shoplift a chocolate bar they will note it and I will eventually be called to court. But if they do shit that ruins cocoa production in West Africa they will still get their massive bonuses year end.

                          Well they have an address on Wikipedia. Maybe if I was in Vancouver I’d go to all the coffeeshops in walking distance and ask the owners of they’d be up for putting up a poster saying Hootsuite supports ICE on the window. Maybe their suppliers want to know. Maybe their cleaners? Their landscapers? Costs can also be indirect…

                            No idea, only vaguely heard of the company myself. People are people everywhere and there are always people willing to sell the rest of us out for money. This company and it’s officers should be held to account should it’s support of ICE be tied to unlawful acts.

                                      Does anyone know if there will be a protest outside their offices? Seems like something we can do as Canadians to help.

                                          Looks like these guys are gonna have their work cut out, can you imagine having to come up with the social marketing spin for murdering citizens in the street.
