Intercom chief executive Eoghan McCabe told staff the decision not to support Pride outwardly was a ‘tough’ one to make

During a companywide staff meeting in June, excerpts of which were shared with The Irish Times, Mr McCabe said the decision not to support Pride outwardly was “tough” as the company had previously been supportive of the event.

ERGs have traditionally been considered an asset to companies in terms of attracting and retaining key skilled workers, providing support to communities within the workplace. “Companies that do not apply very high degrees of focus to their work will struggle,” a spokesperson from Intercom said. “We’re deprioritising absolutely everything that does not directly contribute to our success and it’s yielding great results. We’re incredibly proud of the open, accepting, mature culture our CEO is building and the new high bar for talent he’s setting, too.”

“Pride is, first and foremost, a protest, but it’s also a celebration and a display of solidarity,” it said.
