Salesforce

Salesforce’s CEO, Marc Benioff decided to put idiocy above business, and attack part of his base by enacting a policy that companies who sell semi-automatic weapons can't use its software. This can only alienate or lose them customers like Walmart, BassPro/Cabelas, Turners, and Academy -- not to mention any companies that value the Constitution or law of the land and decide to avoid Salesforce because of the signal this sends. Meanwhile their competitors like Netsuite, Oracle, SAP, Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, are all glad for the business opportunities: thanks for shooting yourself in the dick Marc.
