Since when did relaying employee experience constitute an existential threat to a businesses ability to operate? This forum is littered with people who engage in "threats" as a mode of business every single day.

When you demand money in return for not relaying those experiences? That is when it becomes extortion.

Thats a reductive read. I thought this forum was supposed to encourage a higher minded discourse?

Seriously, read the complaint before commenting. What the parent says isn't "a reductive read", it's literally what WP Engine is alleging (with extensive documentation) and Matt is pointedly not denying.

Read the complaint before commenting any further, please.
