Spotify might not have a whole lot of competition as a product, but as an employer of tech workers? “This is an opportunity for organizations that want to steal these people to offer them a better alternative,” Galinsky said. “Spotify is much more worried about employees leaving than subscribers leaving,” he said. That the company apologized to staff instead of making a broader public statement was intentional, according to Columbia Business School professor Adam Galinsky. While Spotify has steadily refused to cancel Rogan, the company has good reason to worry about how employees will react.
The apology came after a fresh uproar over the weekend about Rogan’s use of the N-word on several shows and after artists like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell pulled their music from the streaming service over concerns about COVID-19 misinformation.Įk wrote that Rogan’s comments in no way represented the values of the company. Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said host Joe Rogan’s hit podcast will remain on the platform, but he apologized to his employees in an internal letter shared with The Wall Street Journal on Sunday night.
