I feel like interrupting a CEO's speech at a big conference is pretty well understood to be a social indicator of a high level of insubordination. I suspect the protestor knew that too.
The consequences were appropriate, even if I might share some of the protestor's concerns.
- snickerdoodle14 1y ago> insubordination Are we talking about the military or some company?
- duxup 1y agoI think that term can be / is used for individuals at companies.

- gmueckl 1y agoUS corporate culture has a stronger sense of hierarchy than many other countries. It is an environment where one can get fired quickly and suddenly and that instills a lot of obedience and discipline (if not outright fear) in employees.
- duxup 1y agoI don't even think you need a strong sense of hierarchy. The meaning of the word would apply anywhere.
- fluoridation 1y agoLOL. The military isn't the only organization with a hierarchy.
- rkachowski 1y agoYou feel that being fired is an appropriate consequence to interrupting a CEO?
- duxup 1y agoWhen doing a presentation at a big conference, yes. If it was an open discussion in a meeting with 5 people, no.
- sugarpimpdorsey 1y agoInterrupting a speech? Yes. It demonstrates a lack of maturity, decorum, and is completely unprofessional. Someone who pulls these shenanigans is unworthy of the role they were hired for. This isn't high school anymore. They were hired to perform productive work not be disruptive and play pretend activist.

- 34679 1y agoYou lost me at "pretend activist". This person put their job on the line for what they believe in, and in a public enough way that complete strangers are discussing it on the internet. That's real activism.
- sugarpimpdorsey 1y agoIf they don't like it, they don't have to work there. All these people hate on their employer and customers whilst simultaneously drawing a salary. If they put their money where their mouth is, they can all quit en masse and let the company deal with customers without employees to support.
- nashashmi 1y agoIf they don't like it, they can voice what they don't like. And that is what happened here.
