When Bill Gates was running Microsoft in his 20s, he made sure to have enough of a buffer to pay every employee’s salary for a year in the event of a revenue decline. Struck me as not only smart, but extremely ethicalhttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1242843156900708357 …
But that’s everybody’s goal. Can’t fault him for that. Also he claims to have done this before he had a monopoly, when Microsoft was just starting out.

I don't fault him for it. But I don't give him credit for being especially ethical just for having money to pay workers longer. That said, what he's done after his time at Microsoft makes him a saint.

I think it’s both a smart business move and, maybe not ethical, but thoughtful and considerate towards your community. Barring an unexpected catastrophe, no one my company will get laid off and I am enormously proud to say that I can be there for my people during this tough time
