I'm curious what kind of loyalty you think employees owe their employers in these kinds of extreme circumstances. We are talking about a radical change in direction and working style. Whatever deal these employees thought they were signing up for when hired was presumably pretty different than what they were presented with once Elon took over. One of his demands was in increase in working hours. This is a life-changing commitment that many people simply cannot make. A job is important, but it's not the only thing people need to spend time on. That's just one of the changes he is demanding.

Elon seems to be used to treating employees as interchangeable parts. If he is going to operate like that, it doesn't occur to me that his employees owe him any kind of loyalty at all.

If you take a salary from a publicaly traded company, you have certain duties.

One of those duties is not posting internal information online.

If you really think your boss is some cartoon villain out to get you, just quit and give your spot to another person who is willing to do the duties.

But they no longer take salary from a publicly traded company.

Only duties which are specified in writing right? I get your point and don’t have a dog in the fight but nothing written by the original author was very new compared to other media sources
