can anyone explain why this would end up being any different than baking a cake for a gay wedding or transgender reveal? BTW, that guy is suing the heck out of his tormentors for a second issue very much like the first. I hope he wins bigly. It may cost him everything.
If the court ruled/rules in favor of that guy, and we are all supposed to be relieved about that, then why are we supposed to be upset (or even surprised) by this salesforce thing?
Yes, it would be expensive and painful to break out of a lock-in situation. Sure. My company did it, and we have 40,000 employees with offices on continents wherever there are people. My analogue cost $100M to buy and install and we aren’t done with integration or training yet. So I don’t need a primer on the issues surrounding that.
But if rights trump commercial transactions, and we feel that strongly about it then we should put our money where our mouth it and tell salesforce to stick it.
