I’m surprised folks say that we can’t be critical of own employer. Our employers are not lords or kings. We choose to work for them and can replace them.

They are saying there are repercussions to being critical and loss of employment is a common one which should be expected. > We choose to work for them and can replace them. They choose to employ us and can replace us.
- wildrhythms 4y agoI think it was clear the person you're replying to is saying that the repercussions for being critical toward your employer is what makes it effectively 'not allowed'.

They are saying there are repercussions to being critical and loss of employment is a common one which should be expected. Why do you feel that the expected outcome of being critical is being punished instead of addressing the root causes of these issues? I mean how do you expect problems to be pointed out and addressed?

- simplotek 4y ago> Apparently, at Twitter, you don't. Twitter is itching to shed people any way they can, so the problem lies elsewhere.
- tssva 4y agoMost companies I have worked for have a means to point out problems in an internal non-public manner. Once you bypass those to go public you generally lose the trust of your employer. Why would you employ someone you can no longer trust?

- tssva 4y agoBecause some people can't accept there are consequences to actions.
