Well of course they did. I'm sure at Musk's direction as well. Probably not the only one either.

I can't imagine the punishment they hand down will be anywhere close to the money Musk feels like he's saved by committing the act and stopping others from doing things he doesn't want them to do

And that's the problem

"Return to work". Motherfuckers, they were already employed. 🙄 I bet CNBC is one of the companies that had a controversial RTO policy. I utterly resent these attempts at trying to normalize deceptive language for return to office schemes subconsciously, like people that don't want to return to office aren't working somehow and it's somehow their fault it's a problem, and not the fault of an inflexible employer.

I thought that headline sounded a little off. Corporate bootlicking bastards.

Yue then tweeted, "Don't resign, let him fire you. You gain literally nothing out of resignation." She also posted in a company Slack channel a message saying, "Don't be fired. Seriously."

Don't resign or don't be fired? I think she meant don't resign.

That’s retaliation right? They should add one more suit to the already long list of things Twitter is being sued for.
