Obviously there were going to fire these employees, especially the one who gave notice then did this.
But why the fuck would anyone be like “yOu DiDn’T eVeN aPoLoGiZe To ThE cOmPaNy”? That’s the stupidest god damn thing I’ve heard since “Liberation Day”
What about "you haven't even thanked us!" to Zelensky?
Same energy.
Apologized? Did they berate her for not "wearing a suit" too?
Or speaking without permission with a vagina?!
The impertinence!
Hey, when's the last time you showed remorse to your multi-trillion market cap employer? Next you're gonna tell me something really outrageous like you didn't even swear an oath of fealty to them.
That email was almost certainly written by lawyers with the intention of supporting MS in court, should it come down to that.
that makes sense. i hate the fact that such a blatant play at covering your bases could hold up in any court. no matter the legal fineprint, it takes two functioning braincells to realise what's going on here
Frame the debate. MS doesn't have to justify their profiteering if they can talk about the employee. The attention span of the public is limited.
C-suits don't live in the same world as the rest of us. Simple as that.
Have you even said Thank You?!?
Have you said thank you to us even once?!
Because law. At every opportunity, make it seem like the employees were not blowing the whistle, but purposefully harming the company.
