I’m not sure about the law protecting them or not, but it’s deeply hypocritical from their part.

It’s just people used to virtue signaling that aren’t willing to pay any price, no matter how small, for what they defend. They really think they are up to something when all they do is speak and “look good”.

If they think their company is doing something really problematic, then resign.

Nah, there is nothing hypocritical about it. And complains about virtue signaling are usually just people disagreeing but not wanting to say it out loud. There is nothing wrong with virtue signaling anyway. It is certainly better then "vice signaling", "cynism signaling" and "look how smart I am that I dont care signaling".

> that aren’t willing to pay any price, no matter how small, for what they defend.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting others to harm you. It is entirely absolutely ok to avoiding unnecessary harm to you. There is no virtue in allowing others to mistreat you.

People who try to create change are better then those who passively resign staying silent. You don't have to become jobless before you push for legislation that limits what companies have to do.

You are just trying to create rules that will silence and punish people you disagree with. That is weak.
