It seems unambiguous that it was possible for X to get away with doing this if they were slightly less aggressive about it - set a reasonable RTO timeline instead of demanding people show up immediately, not go on witch hunts by scanning slack messages, etc. But X's new owner loves drama and wants to feel powerful, so we get this.
On the other hand you could also argue that they did get away with it, because multiple years of legal battles with the NLRB don't really count as much of a loss unless they result in big enough penalties to actually hurt the people who made these decisions.

- manonthewall 3y agoThere is definitely a correlation between being psychopathic and CEO. I don't know if either is a direct result of the other or if it's a third quality, but the statistical correlation is certainly there and has been known for a while.
- Zigurd 3y agoYes, they could have not antagonized people, but that's not the problem. The problem is they fired workers for coordinating. In this case it was about RTO but it could have been about coordinating about anything, even a triviality. Workers have the right to coordinate, organize, and act together, formally or informally.
