Maybe it’s more that they hold leadership to a higher standard than the playground bullies in elementary school?

Or maybe they unthinkingly and blindly accept anything negative they hear, regurgitating it with confidence that they could not possibly be mistaken because it confirms their biases and validates their life choices.

Those too, but I find myself at a loss as to whom to compare them to in the context of elementary school. Maybe the kids that still believe in Santa by graduation?

There should probably be a citation here. Even if it's true, I don't know how this is relevant--I was bullied by a lot of people when we were children, but I don't imagine that they are still bullies today because people often mature in adolescence and early adulthood.

Where did you hear about this?

He made it up.

HN comments are not indicators of anything close to representing "people" in general.

To your point, comments in any internet community are not such indicators.

Indeed.

My point is whether or not they have a legal case, not if their letter is true or false.

That's funny, because you may very well be wrong on your main point then! I guess the problem starts when you use terms like "protected class" that don't remotely apply; it gives off an ignorant vibe. Meanwhile, employees acting in concert to complain about working conditions are of course protected by the law; Shotwell, Musks little minion, doesn't help the case when she calls it activism.

Can you be more specific about what you mean?

20th century history my friend.

I'm aware of the origins of the phrase. "Who is it being applied to here and why" is what I'd like to know.

They’re comparing SpaceX employees to Nazis.

I am comparing the statement from op to be subordinate no matter what to nazis not spacex employees.

>the statement from op to be subordinate no matter

"being insubordinate is not a protected class" does not mean "be subordinate no matter what"

What exactly are you arguing? Under what conditions can you be told to do something, you refuse, and you get fired?

I don’t understand what did they refuse to do?
