For most people, publicly criticizing your own company shows your disloyalty that could get you fired.

Imagine getting fired over things you have little control over when you are responsible for bringing food to your little children and aging parents.

Children is a you problem you take full responsibility for. I won't navigate myself into these kinda issues given I won't force people into a rapidly dying world.
True, but aging parents, disabled siblings, living arrangement with your SO etc - so many personal factors that would precede social responsibility for many.

Unless you are a blue haired social activist with parents to bank roll your existence and you having nothing to lose, outrage is a luxury.

>Children is a you problem you take full responsibility for.

Thus why the other person suggests that being rude under the guise of "straight shooter" isn't always worth the risk of losing your income stream for your family.
