You would hope people in high places wouldn’t be petty or personally vindictive, but there is plenty to gain from the personal rush you get ruining someone’s life (or at least a couple of months of it).
Happens sadly more frequently than you’d hope.
- vanusa 5y agoSo your assessment is that the Black workers who joined this suit (or otherwise filed hundred of complaints going back to 2012, as per the DFEH complaint) -- did so out of a spirit of pure and simple vindictiveness, and to gain from the personal rush they will get ruining Musk's life, or at least a couple of months of it?
- quartesixte 5y agoNo I was responding to the parent’s musing on what motivation someone like Jen Psaki would have on coordinating a negative press campaign because someone like Joe Rogan criticized her on a podcast. Of which I responded to, based on my own personal observations of people in high places.
