Companies have only one stance - make more money. When squeezed from both sides they might try poking either in order to see what would hurt their bottom line less.

> Companies have only one stance - make more money.

That's not entirely correct, but close enough. Since that's a constant, we can ignore that. Outside of "make more money", different companies absolutely take different stances about things.

Most companies seem to have at least some amount of consistency in their stances, though.

I did say most, not all.

I've dealt with many companies in the last 25 years and from my personal experience their stances are like a windsock (well except for that main "more money" stance).

Your experience can of course be different
