No, that’s not high, especially compared to FAANG.

#13Well that is gangsta. It's an unlikely coincidence that these three people had poor performance with such timing that led to firing in the same week or two. You gotta space out the firings to give the cover story more plausibility.
Three? Last I checked, there were only 2. Has a third person been fired?

#14The moment I read the title, I came up a very satirical comment which I believe everybody came up so I don't bother to write it.

Do they need to?
Many employers would rather publicize it: we don't tolerate a union.

For the uninformed can you elaborate on why?
Re: Kickstarter’s Year of Turmoil
#18Why are American companies so afraid of their employees unionizing? Because American unions have a history of creating an adversarial relationship between managers and employees. They’re self serving and have a zero sum game outlook where they try to grab as much as they can from a company. The unions were a major contributor towards the collapse of the American auto industry.
European unions differ in that they are more focused on building a collaborative relationship with managers and aim to ensure stability and sustainability for the business. To achieve this, you need a certain level of societal trust and unity, which just isn’t realistic at the moment in America.

#19I might be missing something, but that's a plain out crime to do it right?
In the United States, it is not a crime to unionize. It's a crime to fire employees for trying to unionize - though if engaged in an at-will employment agreement (as in this case), then the employer can terminate the contract for virtually any reason, without recourse.

Salary is not the only thing that unions bargain for. Don't be daft!
