If a manager tells anyone at their company that their humanity is not valued in the company, I would expect them to be walked out the door on the spot.

Managers act as agents of the company and the amount of legal assfucking that statement opens the company up to is enormous.

Well thank god I don't work for you. Most tech companies don't fire everyone engaging in employee activism or they would have much larger labor issues to deal with.

You can engage in employee activism without making shrill claims about how you're being treated as a subhuman. If this seems difficult then thank god I don't work with you.

Telling another employee of a company that you're a manager at that "their humanity is not valued by the employer" is not activism.
