Корпорации торгуют революцией в модной упаковке Прочти инструкцию во вкладыше, не бойся передозировки Im no Ayn Rand, but still cant help notice shameless playing with the anti-capitalist sentiment in the ad below. First, the purported choice of family values over professional ones is false dichotomy, or put it less eloquently, bulls*it. Im eager to see Sheryl Sandbergs reaction to this ad, which is, in essence, telling her that she cant Lean In. But even worse than being an obvious logical fallacy, this idea seems to be a deliberate taking advantage of Occupy-style capitalism demonization. Though obviously the movement, when targeted towards specific actions of specific individuals, had some merit, over-simplification of the issue with the family is good, money is bad, and they are mutually exclusive statement is wrong. Second, the ultimate, utter irony of the ad given its context. We dont jump at the sound of the opening bell, because we try to make the school bell. Corner booth beats corner office any day. Were more into being a partner than making partner. Lol. B**ch, please. Can I mention that this is an ad produced by some marketing agency so that GM could meet its next quarterly revenue targets so that the next day after the announcement its stock price did not fall a few percentage points at the opening bell and the CEO could retain his corner office (which is, by the way, not an evil intention per se)? By the way, which one of the partners of Weil, Gotshal & Manges managed to sell your management their services, when you were bailed out through Chapter 11 in 2009 by the same Main Street Joe you are trying to sell your car to in this ad? In all, this ad is borderline insult to the intelligence. To buy into this ad, the marketers would expect the viewers to be prone to demagogue and have zero understanding of economics basics. That makes a pretty dumb intended audience. The kind of people who would buy into this are my older relatives from Kazakhstan who lived the most of their lives in USSR, being educated that wealthy people are all inherently thieves and that all the business is criminal. Should I call up my grandma, GM? #trulyfooled
