How all HR works: protect the company, cut out the person that reported the problem.

What does "income is the EV+ bet" mean in this context?

[rolltiide → shadowgovt]

positive expected value means it is more probable that you make money in the future, so staying employed and having income is EV+. negative expected value means it is more probable that you lose money in the future, so not having income is EV-.
