Also, these people are all 100% guaranteed to be fired and blacklisted from every major tech firm for the rest of their lives…

I do agree, but also there are a lot of naive people who think that they won't get fired (in America of all places), so maybe they are just naive.

I mean, this exact thing already happened and somehow it was "news" when they were fired.

This is true.

Nobody ever said you have to be good at being a corpo, to be a corpo.
