Those two lines don't go together. The representation that Paizo doesn't need is that of those that only care about wages and bennies.

Yeah! I mean, who needs a better pay and benefits, anyway? Certainly not employees!

Since we keep talking about the carpet, I wonder if they did in the end clean carpet after 2015 though

By now, the carpet has either developed sentience or began breeding those fungi from Serpent's Skull adventure path that are neither poison nor a disease so you can't boost your fortitude saves against them.

Now since one of the main complaints is attitudes towards minorities at the very senior level then surely trying to drive a company - that despite all of this still caters to these voices - out of business doesn't really help?

Because there is a fine line between "sending a message" through not buying things and putting someone out of business. And is that what people really want? No more Paizo because of bad management and some ignorant comments from one of the most senior people.

I think you're seriously overestimating the purchasing power of people posting on these message boards.

But let's say you are correct. Let's say the company treats its employees badly and customers boycott it because of it. And let's say the company's response to this isn't to improve its relations with the employees but to instead cuts down their salaries, treats them worse and/or fires them.

Heck man!

In that case, *maybe* the company in question *does* deserve to go down.

mostly the overall reason for their presence has since been under regulations and workplace basic practices that they had put in place decades ago.

That type of representation is not needed for a gaming company like WotC, or Paizo.

Yeah! Why would the workers in a game company even need union to ensure regulations and workplace basic practices?

It's not as if Paizo employees had problems with their asthma because the company hasn't cleaned its carpets for seven years or something.
