re: Expensify CEO is mad

He needs to go Tubin himself.
Glad I use Concur...

Yes CUSTOMERS received this NOT EMPLOYEES. Freaking insane. And yes he is founder and CEO.

Find a new job.

Nice trap he set encouraging people that disagree to email him. Especially after just saying they are basically satan if they don't vote for Biden.

Nah, he’s just a good guy wanting to start a conversation.

I actually read the entire post. Would an email reply of “frick off, dork” get you fired?

Wikipedia has already posted this about Expensify’s political activism. They are based in San Francisco:

On October 22nd 2020, (David) Barrett sent emails to all Expensify customers, urging them to vote for Joseph Biden Jr., arguing that the ongoing existence of US democracy itself depended on Biden's winning.[16]

This usage isn't listed in their privacy policy.

Wonder if someone will complain to the FTC?

I will tell you right now, that if this "CEO" sent it to all of his customers then he is a monumental idiot.

I work in a very large corporation, we do work for companies across the US and globe. If we were to send an email like that to all of our customers without permission from each company, at the very least we'd be fired from every single one, and I'm sure we'd get hit with a lawsuit or two.

We don't use Expensify but we use a similar tool for expense reporting, If that had come into our company, everyone would be pissed.
