Do you only read things that have shock value?

My failed attempt at sarcasm and cynicism. Of course I am shocked and sort of getting numbed by these aholes behavior and the way they carry out these deplorable actions with impunity. Because they can afford lawyers, and / or company resources (aka HR) always seem to side with these aholes.

Can you send an article from a neutral party for that? For the life of me I can't find one, could've sworn there were a few last year

The modus operandi of zionists is to use their propaganda to deflect from the facts that make Israel indefensible e.g. the fact that israel has systematically destroyed Gaza's health care system.

I concur. The whole thing was lame and whiny. But you'll be downvoted by the hopelessly woke here. As will I.

Oh those pesky people who want other people to behave like decent human beings rather than assholes. Bloody hopelessly woke!

"decent human beings" and "assholes" according to them. That's a huge distinction.

With the way current corporations - both public and private - are setup, those in ‘power’ seems to be shielded - for various reasons - and the victims are ultimately punished (one way or another). We need something similar to a #MeToo movement to weed out the cancer and bring justice to victims.

What are some solutions? Consumers boycotting products, shareholders voting out bad apples, government / legal oversight? Any more ideas?

If there's a person who used ALL his power to win every skirmish, no matter how unscrupulously, it was BG. A guy that powerful and unscrupulous and also unattractive with that horrible voice only gets women because of money and power. And the only woman who could stand him enough to marry him (and have his kids) was no looker, yet divorced him with no press whatsoever. That's the power of money. I suspect a lot of us…

There's a lot of subjective judgement going on in this post, but putting that aside: how does all this not apply equally well to most other wealthy billionaires such as Bezos, Ellison, Ballmer etc... ? I'm curious why you're picking on Gates.

> I'm curious why you're picking on Gates.

Because I felt like willfully ignoring the precept that I should not be talking bad about another person who is not present. I am not fully submitted to the Divine Will, therefore I still make mistakes.

I should not have said these things about BG and his ex-wife, even if they are bang-on true.

I apologize to all who have read this, and though BG or his ex-wife will likely never read this, I want to openly say to them that I apologize to you both and ask you to forgive me for my gossiping against you today, and will try my best in the future to not do it again.

I hope I have learned this lesson, once and for all.

Peace be with you all.

Two comments downplaying the grossness of the conduct of executives and one reply trying to discredit another whistleblower saying similar things. For me, that's a worrying level of apathy towards and / or normalisation of what should be totally unacceptable behaviour. This is the kind of attitude that gets Trump a second term even after his first.

Yeah I've seen a few comments on here about Zuckerberg's dumb fucks quote along the lines of "I would have said the same thing" (would you? I hope your employer doesn't find your screen name)

Combine that with a few "is this surprising to anyone?" and "this is a nothingburger" (except when it might be, like some of the Russia narrative being made up, it depends; but then, it still deserves a more substantive comment than that) and you get the general level of discourse

Oh look, a hateful woke person.

You don't see that very often.

Only every time someone calls them out on their demented racism and sexism.

Thanks for bringing us Trump 2, by the way.

Sorry not sorry, but that was no "nothingburger." The fact of the matter was that Twitter under Jack Dorsey had become completely bloated and abusive. You had people working there whose only job was to do things like manipulate pixels in emojis and more seriously, they had created a vast and cancerous DEI bureaucracy.

Guses the government is also that? You're choking on that coolaid.

That the CISA works with the EIP isn't Kool-Aid, it's a fact, no matter how much it upsets the apple cart of established big media narratives.

You know what else isn't "Kool-Aid"? The FBI was having monthly and even weekly meetings with Twitter executives to coordinate their efforts. Twitter under Dorsey did this in conjunction with the DHS, the DOJ, the office of the Director of National Intelligence, the CIA, and the NSA.

In Twitter’s interactions with the FBI, former Head of Trust and Safety Yoel Roth considered the Bureau a proxy for the entire “intelligence community” as a whole; and that the FBI and Twitter have become closely enmeshed.

If you don't think that's a problem for freedom of speech and privacy, perhaps you ought to read up on the topic.

>flirting with the C suite It sounds like one of the issues was that the C-Suite flirted with her >Wynn-Williams also writes that Kaplan, as her boss, made inappropriate comments to her, including repeatedly asking where she was bleeding from after childbirth. She writes that, shortly after he called her sultry in front of other co-workers, Kaplan ground into her on a dance floor. She triggered an investigation into…

The fact that Kaplan was later appointed as a Trump liason only bolsters her claims (as if there were any reason to disbelieve them in the first place).

It sounds like there were witnesses to the major events mentioned, which makes things simpler than 1:1... but in general people don't tend to make these kinds of things up, in my experience.
