On: Samsung Acquires Joyent

This makes me think twice about the Samsung brand I have sitting in my pocket.

That's not a corporate thing, it's the culture of the entire country. Try not to condemn an entire culture just because you disagree with how they do things. From the perspective of Koreans, Westerners do lots of really unpleasant things as well.

There's also lots of very positive things about Korean culture, just like there are about Western cultures.

All I'm saying is that if I'm going to fall in love with the brand, it would be nice if the employees of the company also have the same love for it.

This quote from the parent comment: "Samsung managers are often corrupt and treat their employees like trash"

makes me feel like I'm not fully aware what really goes on and is not something I like to actively support.
