Surveillance company harassed female employees using its own facial recognition
This is something like the 30th or 40th time I've seen a documented instance of toxic "bro" culture in sales/marketing groups.<p>I think there is a lot to be said for the business plan concept of intentionally NOT hiring "sales" people who come from a traditional sales/marketing background. Have a compelling product and website marketing material about it that doesn't require outbound sales efforts to go hunt down the customers.<p>My personal theory is that aggressive <i>outbound</i> sales attracts the sort of personality that may be more likely to engage in many possible manners of outlandish behaviour.<p>Yes, you might be leaving some money on the table, but you'll also have a better corporate culture as a whole.
