Lol all these people salty at you.

I think you're right that the world of executives is less like "employment" and it's kind of insulting to pretend it is.

But I also think it's fine for executives to sue the companies they represent. I think the government should have a role in corporate governance. I would even support having a government appointed representative like the Federal Reserve has.

But I'm just a communist :p

The replies are missing the point, I agree. “Executives” are part of the bourgeoisie, employment laws bitterly won by the organised proletariat aren’t really relevant.

At the same time, people can sue each other based on laws, why not? If you don’t like that, you should join those working to overthrow the current system.

I think it’s also potentially useful, at least rhetorically, for gender discrimination to be an issue even among the ruling class.
