What do you do when you love a brand/product as a customer, and then you work on it and their marketing team is just awful? Like seriously bad at work and bad people? Do you stop being a customer of the brand?

What’s the brand

I have on multiple occasions. Once I personally know who my money’s going to I’m definitely going to attach my purchasing decisions to whether or not you’re a decent human being

It’s truly rare to see the inner workings of a place and see that it matches what’s communicated and perceived on the outside.

I would not hold it against a company based on the people who work on the marketing team. Marketing teams are messy and it’s really difficult to have it all together.

I WOULD base my purchase decision based on what i personally know about the founder or the head of the company though, because they set the tone and culture of the company.

This is a great take!

Nope. Still buy the product, which I enjoy. I won’t let a bunch of annoying yuppies ruin that for me.

This feels like "what if you love a sports team but hate the Coach?" Gotta take the bad with the good.

That’s most companies or brands. It called seeing the kitchen. Same thing happens when you go to steak houses. The packaging vs the kitchen is different. 👀🔦
