Firing an incomplete and/or lazy person is not tyranny.



There are no indications at all of incompetence (I assume that is what you meant) or laziness in this at all. All indications are that this is an group of employees who came together to complain internally, the complaint was leaked (no indication that it was them), and they were fired.

I'm sure you're the guy everyone likes at work.


100% of my company likes me but that's besides the point. Work isn't a popularity contest and you don't need to be liked all the time by everyone. The only people who care about such things are those with devastatingly low self-esteem.


Well, if work isn't a popularity contest, then who gives a damn what you imagine people at SpaceX think of "woke pests"? All it does it make you sound angry.


It's ok to be angry. It is a normal human emotion. Anyone who tells you different is selling you something.


There is no indication that the persons who drafted the letter were "incomplete and/or lazy", nor was that the pretext given by SpaceX management.
