> Employees participating in the protest requested time off and then added an out-of-office response to their emails notifying senders they are protesting, The New York Times reports. Facebook has since acknowledged the walkout and said it will not require employees to use their paid time off.
Is this really a protest when it amounts to a no-penalty day off from the very employer you're protesting?
- renewiltord 6y agoWell, no bastard ever successfully protested by imposing a cost on himself. He successfully protested by imposing a cost on some other dumb bastard. The ideal protest applies amplified damage to the other guy at low cost to yourself. I hope The Zuck stays strong, though. Let everyone speak.
- adpirz 6y ago> by imposing a cost on himself What would you say to people who have been arrested, beaten, or in some cases, even lost their lives in protests like these and those before it?
- frabbit 6y agoThat they stood up for something and paid a high price for it which made their protest more potent to many people?
- geodel 6y agoThat its good on them. Unlike these FB virtual protesters who will not put virtual mask and put their virtual health in danger to show they "stand" for something.
- renewiltord 6y agoThat they won or lost by the cost they imposed on the other guy, not the cost that was imposed on them. If they could have imposed the same cost without actually dying, they would still have won or lost.
