So, 36 people (at present, anyway) sign a letter. What in the flying frig is that actually supposed to accomplish? There's nothing really actionable here; you've got the nothingness of "that leadership commit to transparency, clear communication, and real accountability."
Are these people going to actually do anything - quit in protest, sabotage, what? No, they are going to whine, and keep drawing their very lucrative salaries and benefits. Put up or shut up.
- drb91 8y agoWhat exactly would you want to see in this situation? I don’t think most have issues interpreting actions like this.
- criddell 8y agoWhy would you start with ultimatums and demands? I think it's better to start soft and get a discussion going. Maybe these people are smart enough to realize that they don't know everything.
- demygale 8y agoActivism takes many forms. They’re not mutually exclusive. Your contribution to this discussion (with a throwaway account) is to put boundaries on what activities you deem acceptable. Your cynicism is not insightful or interesting.
- jerf 8y agoYou're criticizing a snapshot of a process. I'd agree with your criticisms if we knew this was the end-game, but we don't know that it is. It is not, in general, the correct move to escalate to the maximum level in situations like this, so considered as a process this isn't necessarily a bad thing. The next move is currently Google's.

- thrower123 8y agoShe did actually do something, and engage in an act of civil disobedience, and get arrested. Not sign a mildly written letter.
