    the email to Aboussad reads. “It is also concerning that you have not apologized to the company, and in fact you have shown no remorse for the effect that your actions have had and will have.”

    Obviously there were going to fire these employees, especially the one who gave notice then did this.

    But why the fuck would anyone be like “yOu DiDn’T eVeN aPoLoGiZe To ThE cOmPaNy”? That’s the stupidest god damn thing I’ve heard since “Liberation Day”

      That email was almost certainly written by lawyers with the intention of supporting MS in court, should it come down to that.

        Bingo. Lots of stupid things at this level boil down to legal protection. You’ll see it everywhere once you learn and look.

          “Lucky we’re not countersuing! Oh the damages you are certain to be causing in the futureeee, the burns”

          Actually now that I think about it maybe this was a multimillion dollar protest. The headlines have been published for and wide. I bet a few people spent more time feeling guilty than working right after as well - imagine one of them quitting. Still somewhat hard to believe it would lose them contracts but perhaps there will be potential customers who want to avoid connection with Microsoft until this blows over.

        that makes sense. i hate the fact that such a blatant play at covering your bases could hold up in any court. no matter the legal fineprint, it takes two functioning braincells to realise what’s going on here

      Frame the debate. MS doesn’t have to justify their profiteering if they can talk about the employee. The attention span of the public is limited.

      Hey, when’s the last time you showed remorse to your multi-trillion market cap employer? Next you’re gonna tell me something really outrageous like you didn’t even swear an oath of fealty to them.
