When considering the scenario of an ethical lawsuit being brought against a favorite company of mine, I would definitely have a change in opinion. Any form of discrimination is terrible on a company’s internal culture, and shows deep rooted issues that may not be easily viewable by the outside eye, like myself in this scenario. It is impossible to fully understand or relate to a company’s culture, without being immersed in it myself. I believe culture is one of the most important pieces to drive success in a business. I love the ideology of ‘culture eats strategy for lunch’, meaning that you can have a very effective and innovative strategy as a business, but without the coupling of a fair and equitable culture, it can be incredibly challenging to find success. In essence, I would not support a business that has issues like this, and it would very much lead me away from wanting to work in their environment too.
I myself have worked in strong, caring cultures, as well as the opposite. Having that has shown be just how important a culture is, and shifted what I prioritize when searching for a company to work for in the future. I would rather have less ideal tasks on a day to day, with a very encouraging and uplifting culture, than working somewhere that felt unfair or unethical. I feel more motivated to work hard for people that I feel care or value me, and the work that I do. If I found out people in groups I associated with were systemically treated unfairly, I would heavily reconsider the company and my future with them. Overall, I would absolutely change my viewpoint, and look to not work for my favorite company that had these ethical issues.

Hi Grant, great post! I completely agree with your reasoning, and I really appreciated your use of the quote “culture eats strategy for lunch.” It perfectly highlights how a company with a poor culture will struggle to succeed if it can’t foster an environment that values inclusion and diverse perspectives. Without a strong, supportive culture, even the best strategies can fall short.
Thank you for sharing your experiences so openly, Grant. It’s really powerful to read firsthand accounts like yours, and it sheds light on how discrimination can affect people in ways others may not fully realize.
