lol what? Standing up and yelling during a meeting is probably the tip of the iceberg. They’re also trying to stage protests, etc.

Nah this person wasn’t working productively any more, as far as I can tell. Worse, they were reducing productivity of others. Possibly making an unsafe work environment.

It’s not about being sensitive or even agreeing. It’s about making product. If we were chopping wood and someone stopped chopping to complain about inner city transit systems. You’d fire them.

If they kept chopping wood it would be fine though.

Why do they not keep chopping wood in your example?

Someone arranging a protest, yelling during meetings, etc is not working any more.
Maybe not for keeping a job, but as evidenced by media coverage awareness was raised.
