Is the left's success and the right's failure at getting CEOs fired a good thing or a bad thing?

If you are on the left, it's great.

If you're on the right, you just lost your right to have free speech and stay employed.

It's not just CEOs. An everyday engineer can be fired for publicly repeating political opinions on the right. See Damore. But no one who repeats public opinions on the left gets fired.

Idk I kinda think if you published a company wide memo criticizing management for being part of the bourgeoisie and calling for labor organization you'd probably also get fired.

Actually you'd probably get fired most places for publishing a company wide memo of any kind with the primary purpose of criticizing your bosses and workplace.

Isn't it illegal in a lot of places to fire someone for calling for labor organization?
