A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That's a convenient way to make troublemakers go away. Even it some of these terminations are technically justified, it gives the appearance the company is looking for an excuse to fire critics.
Protesters probably need to be more savvy and respectful, but also need better protection against retribution.
I am pretty sure they could sue for wrongful termination if they conducted their protest properly and respectfully. You can't fire someone for exercising a right.
You really can. Right to work, + free speech is only applicable wrt the government.
The fact that it's legal does not make it moral.
