Scenario

When business partners disagree on balancing profit with social impact

My co-founder and I started this company to create good jobs in our community, but now we're facing pressure from investors to cut labor costs and automate roles that currently employ local people. We both want the business to succeed, but we're realizing we have different ideas about what compromises we're willing to make on our original mission.
