What does "be" mean? Does it mean "act" or does it mean "exist"? Can a person do something evil without "being" evil? Can you be evil without doing anything evil (yet)? These are questions for philosophers to contemplate, not angry employees who were fired (in their eyes) unjustly.
To me, it's a cash grab masquerading as something more virtuous. They better hope they get a big payout, enough to last them for a long time, because regardless they will be branded as troublemakers who aren't worth the risk of employing.
