What's your interviewing process like, do you interview candidates personally (as it seems like it's "your company"), did you discuss the 'ethics' (?) of what you are working on at all? Admittedly I don't have any evidence, but I feel like you have a certain 'clique' of employees who are united in their beliefs about that. If they aren't critical (as in "critical path" rather than "critical of you"!) I'd have strong words then let them go -- if they are mission-critical you still need to have strong words then see about backups for them. How many people in your company? | |
| Feb 17, 2019 at 18:25 | comment | added | Donald | Those suggested vision statements are obviously horrible, why are you employing employees, who don’t seem to be a good fit for your company? This seems like a self-created problem, hiring employees who don’t believe in “social games”, is obviously creating an internal identity issue within your company | |

| Feb 17, 2019 at 13:28 | comment | added | P. Hopkinson | Even if it is technically the employee's problem it might not be in your best interest to treat it as such. I think it is reasonable to crack down on unhelpful criticism but you should consider soft approaches as well as direct ones, especially if you need the dissenting employees to remain on board. | |
| Feb 17, 2019 at 13:08 | comment | added | Helena | @scaaahu My question aren't rhetorical, I really think it helps to clarify. It seems absurd to me that there are multiple employees who think social games are unethical that willingly joined a social games company, so I believe there must be more to it. | |
| Feb 17, 2019 at 12:51 | comment | added | Nobody | @Helena Even the employees did not know what kind of business they are in when they joined the company, they should be free to leave. It's not like a gang, you can't back out once you joined. | |
| Feb 17, 2019 at 12:43 | comment | added | Nobody | No offence intended here at all. Just want to clarify it. Is your company business legal in your country? (If it is legal, I see absolutely no reason for your employees to disrespect their pay checks. It is their problem, not yours, IMO.) | |
| Feb 17, 2019 at 12:29 | comment | added | Helena | Maybe it could help to have some more context: How big is your company, and how long are the employees working for your company? It appears that your employees didn't expect to work for a social game company (otherwise, they wouldn't have joined), so what were their expectations when they joined and what has changed since? | |
