It seems a lot of people don't under stand what Free Speech means, It only has to do with what you can say about the government and what the government can do to you if you do say something about the government(Nothing). But it doesn't protect you from any other speech, say something bad about your boss, they can fire you (in most states).
Crying on Twitter to the void about your boss does not equal talking to someone face-to-face.
Way ahead of you! I stopped like 6 years ago!
You mean the Holy Blue Check that nobody could get unless Abu-Musab al Dorsey "granted" them such? Like all the "elite" that has their panties in a twist over it? Hold on, let me get my small violin so I can play on it while you elaborate further.
Correct. Hence, no free speech.
As if Elon isn’t literally the world’s richest man. So ****ing stupid.
Plus he is not the government. You are not protected from citizens and businesses consequences as long as they aren't illegal
I don't think it was disrespect. The engineer has the right to speak to Musk on public platform. But he's not allowed to speak on behalf of the company, especially when revealing internal information, without permissions from authorities within. This is the policy in pretty much every company. He would have been okay if he said "in my opinion, we did good" while going straight against Musk and not get the wrath. But when he particularly pointed out technical details in his post, he begged to get fired. Let's not forget the attitude attached to that post, while not disrespectful, clearly showed his disregard for ranks.
I was thinking this in general. Will people find other ways to ID where the Tweet was from?
There used to be people here who did nearly no work and nothing ever happened until they mouthed off to leadership then BUH BYE!!!!
Everybody knows this. It's Elon that has (strongly) perpetuated the idea that any suppression of speech beyond the confines of the law is censorship. Therefore it comes of as, at best, hypocritical when he is firing employees for voicing their opinion and removing tweets.
Yea and you would say it tactfully. I always hate people who say don't yell at kids...don't yell at ANYONE or disrespect them!
And it's not necessarily what. It's WHERE and HOW it was said.
It's WHERE and HOW not what was said. If you asked your boss for a private meeting nicely or send an email just to them, and calmly plead your case, you aren't getting fired unless they're totally unreasonable
So what you are saying is that boss needs to be told privately that he/she is wrong, and not in a meetings when issues are discussed? I don't think so. I say what I think, where and when it needs to be said. If boss doesn't like it, tough sh.t, I move to the next job.
