&quot;A bunch of us got together and expressed our concerns that our boss creates a hostile working environment with his actions, and we&#x27;d like something to be done about it.&quot; &quot;Okay, you&#x27;re fired.&quot;<p>You mean <i>that</i> is retaliation and illegal? Who. Would&#x27;ve. Thought? &#x2F;s

Free speech absolutist does not like his critics exercising free speech. Seems to me to be more like a free speech hypocrite.

Likely true, but also likely won&#x27;t matter since Musk has ignored the NLRB before. Until NLRB has real teeth it will be cheaper for companies to violate their policies and pay fines rather than allow workers to organize.

This seems to be a wishful article. The signed letter is either &quot;activist employees&quot; (fireable offense), or about &quot;working conditions&quot; (wrongful termination due to retaliation)<p>&quot;It strikes me as a letter that is mainly about working conditions,’ one lawyer said&quot; (original article)<p>Vs.<p>“Elon’s behavior in the public sphere is a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment for us, particularly in recent weeks,” the letter states. “As our CEO and most prominent spokesperson, Elon is seen as the face of SpaceX — every Tweet that Elon sends is a de facto public statement by the company. It is critical to make clear to our teams and to our potential talent pool that his messaging does not reflect our work, our mission, or our values.” [1]<p>I know exactly what that paragraph sounds like to me..... Whiney SJWs.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2022&#x2F;6&#x2F;16&#x2F;23170228&#x2F;spacex-elon-musk-internal-open-letter-behavior" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2022&#x2F;6&#x2F;16&#x2F;23170228&#x2F;spacex-elon-musk...</a>
