Did you read any of the stories what a tech company did to an employee who complained about safety issues at the plant? Tried to get him SWATted up by lying to the police. People are extremely petty, and just because people have well paid jobs doesn't mean they are reasonable in any way.

I originally read about it on HN, but don't recall where. I found this Bloomberg article about the issue:

(I originally didn't want to mention the name of the company since you always get very aggressive comments when you post about this company on HN)

Thanks for the link, I didn't know about that before.

> always get very aggressive comments when you post about this company on HN

I wouldn't be surprised, I suppose some/many people here work there, or have such c*rs
