The (controversial) argument is that Twitter has produced a public sphere. It's not legally a public sphere, but a de facto one, which is why people like Musk want to treat it as such.

>insubordination isn't a protected class If some of the comments in this thread is any indicator, people seem to believe it should be a protected class, which is extremely disturbing.

The SEC is a federal organization (government), so Musk thumbing his nose at them in the public sphere is not the same as Musk's employees thumbing their nose at him in a private setting using company resources. The former is clearly i

Free speech is about opposing restrictions in the public sphere though. If the employees had made a public letter to the internet (not an internal mailing list), using their own resources (not company's resources), it would be a differ

I had to look up what a free speech absolutist was[0]. As far as the definition goes, which is about opposing any speech restrictions from the state, I don't see how the internal communications of a private company falls under that. 0.

I have never taken "free speech" to mean "in all places, all the time," so I don't see a conflict. The public sphere (irl and on the internet) is where people are advocating for free speech. A private company's

I'm not sure I fully understand your point. Are you saying that because they wanted to be "different", they should allow behavior like this?

My experience isn't "exaggerated", it's the truth, so I'm not sure why you're attempting to diminish it with that language. The conclusion that I am drawing is not that "accusations of microaggressions are

I've been a first hand witness of a coworker accusing another coworker of "microagressions" because they disagreed (passionately, I would add) on how to approach a problem. I was privy to the outcome from HR and management as

Docs should start out as a rough scaffolding that is easy to change, then filled in as the product anneals. The reason is that systems evolve as you build them, and constantly updating the docs to be consistent as the evolution occurs is an

I answered the idea of "fair" compensation, but you don't seem interested in talking about that.

It's not a strawman, you just aren't understanding the fundamental lesson in the idea of starting your own company. "Fair" is what the participating parties agree is fair when they form the agreement. You appear to be sp

Why stop at criticizing? Go prove people wrong and make a company that does things drastically differently. That's why people are tired with the "I'm just criticizing!" attitude. Instead of talking and telling everyone e

Great analogy actually. The founders own the lottery ticket, but they pay employees cold hard cash despite the fact that the lottery ticket will likely be worthless. When the founder lose the lottery, and lose all of the unpaid hours and re

Are you suggesting that European countries regularly offer severances to all employees that exceed what is legally required? Can you provide a source?

According to this[0], the absolute most generous package is the Netherlands, which offers 1/3 of your monthly salary for each year of employment. To receive 14 weeks of salary, you'd need to work at a company for 10 years. Coinbas

You ignored my response to your post completely and re-iterated the exact same point, so I don't think you are listening or actually care to hear what I think, because if you did, you would know that I already answered you.

Even with god-tier timing, I would have had to invest an extremely reckless amount of savings (at the time) to make anything serious, so this calculator actually puts some of my FOMO to rest.

I'm not sure I understand your point. The shooter was stopped by border patrol officers who risked their lives to end the shooting, so yes, there are people willing to step up and save lives. In this situation, these people were rarer
