According to the article they didn't even disobey the dress code, or cause any real commotion. They just sent a letter just asking for a rule to be changed slightly for practical reasons.
Is it really ethical to fire an entire group of people for merely questioning a rule? Is this really evidence they are "entitled" as comments here are saying? Perhaps the letter was worded very rudely?
- masklinn 10y ago> Is it really ethical to fire an entire group of people for merely questioning a rule? Corporate America doesn't concern itself with ethics. Interns sending a common proposal (however polite) up the management chain is one step removed from unionisation, which is one thing Corporate America will shut down sites or states over.
- StavrosK 10y agoYou've gotten downvoted because of the tone of your comment, but I think the argument you're making is sound. The US work culture is very much against employees' rights, and expressing yourself is a right. They didn't stop working, they didn't harm anything, they just sent a letter that said "hey, these 10 people want X" and they got fired over it.
- StavrosK 10y agoI don't think it is, it sounds like the company is rather tyrannical and will not tolerate employees expressing something they want as a group. Ideally, since employers hold most of the power, it should be feasible for employees to band together to even the playing field. This company is one I wouldn't want to work for. That said, this article is non-news and it's just trying to manufacture outrage. I've flagged it.
