But also valid if people felt pressures to join in on employee activism they don't care about, I’ve seen that trend and I’m totally find curb stomping that whole mentality. I can empathize with the lack of employee power in the US that could lead one to these outcomes, there are other ways (that may not be available to those employees or in the US at all)
For Shotwell, I still think it is disingenuous to suggest there aren't other daily distractions people don't get fired for
This is a critical time for the company. As Shotwell pointed out:
> We have 3 launches within 37 hours for critical satellites this weekend, we have to support the astronauts we delivered to the ISS and get cargo Dragon back to the flight-ready, and after receiving environmental approval early this week, we are on the cusp of the first orbital launch attempt of Starship. We have too much critical work to accomplish
There are times for open discussion and there are times to just shut up and get with the program.
People tried to get corporations to “use their platform”, some started doing that at the annoyance and exclusion of employees that werent interested in having those unrelated causes and discussions in the workday while being told “silence means you’re against us and for whatever we’re against today”
The corporation does not exist for that and is a conduit for revenue exclusively
Some other type of organization is more suited for that, they exist. It may be incompatible with someone’s ability to exchange time for food and shelter but thats exclusively their problem
So its nice to see more examples of complete and immediate excision, a reversion to the mean
The corporate form has been and is now, legally, an enterprise to return financial value to shareholders. Corporations are routinely sued when they stray from that. People with a different vision should change the law rather than be continually surprised.
Fiduciary responsibility is a myth. Company officers basically have to yell into a megaphone “I am making this decision to harm the company, there are no possible upsides to the company for this action” to be liable.
