why is canonical a bad company?
<|assistant|>
Canonical has received considerable criticism for several of its business decisions, including its treatment of the Ubuntu community, the way it handles intellectual property, its high-pressure sales tactics, its low wages, its reliance on advertisements and its decision to move away from its core open-source mission to profit-maximization. Additionally, in recent years, some former Canonical employees have made public allegations of discrimination and toxic work environments at the company. As a result, Canonical has become increasingly infamous in the tech world and is generally regarded as a bad company.
