Intuit asked us to delete part of this Decoder episode

Intuit CEO Sasan Goodarzi claims it’s not accurate the company lobbies against free tax filing.

The CEO of Intuit (who make financial software) did an interview, and it seems a pretty normal interview. But some senior guy at the company asked for part of the interview to be deleted, after it took place.

By putting in that unusual request (rather angrily), more attention is being drawn to the interview.

Thoughts?

    Absolutely, these corporate types are so clueless when it comes to public messaging.

    They realized that it’s obvious that they’re the bad guys, and the interview response wasn’t convincing. But then to try to bully the interviewer into deleting it? That just seems stupid.

      There’s a reason they do it. For every time we hear about it, there are 100 stories that got buried using the same strategy

        And chances are, the company has got away with it before. It just didn’t work this time.
