Good. They work there to build rockets. They can be social justice warriors on their own time and their own dime.

Exactly. I had an asshole boss once, but kept my mouth shut until the day I left the company a couple of months later. Then I told him to his face what I thought of him. (To give you and idea of what a micro-managing jerk he was, he required everyone to come to him personally and get AA batteries for your computer mouse and keyboard. Yes, there was a very high turnover rate in a very small company.)

'zero asshole' policy was not enforced clearly.

Sounds like it just was....

fired some of the employees behind a letter criticizing CEO Elon Musk

In the letter, the unnamed workers gave the company's directors 'one month' to 'swiftly and explicitly separate' from 'Elon's personal brand'.

Good news, people. You got what you wanted. You are now separated from 'Elon's personal brand'.

As the ole adage goes: be careful what you wish for.

Wasn't it Confucius or Buddha who said: may you get what you wish for.

"Good on Musk...That’s how it’s done! Taking out the smelly trash!!!"

These are the same people who would vote in a union and destroy the company.

Now they can start their own space exploration company. Let's see how that works out.

So much for rocket scientists being all that smart!

Some think NASA will pick them up but no company wants workers who think the workplace is a place to invite discord among employees....activists especially. You can be certain NASA will have the names of those who were fired.

He’s one of the coolest, most-famous people right now and he does so many wacky and unexpected things, people just love how unpredictable he is....and that makes him an interesting individual. When you see all he’s done with his life it’s really quite amazing.

If you have a big mouth, then you’d better have big talent to back it up.

Years ago - an instructor at a IT tech school got into a discussion of behavior on our future jobs. He gave us the following advice :

“Don’t $**t where you eat.”

I imagine by end of day the ACLU and EEOC will begin wrongful termination suit preparation.

One needs good manners or fast reflexes.

Sometimes both.
