Do you know what SpaceX does when faced with criticism? Employee layoffs!
According to sources, some employees have been fired from the company "SpaceX", after addressing an open letter, full of criticism of the company.
The letter demands that the company's culture be more inclusive, but contrary to what they expected, "SpaceX" stopped them.
The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but according to the New York Times on Thursday, cut ties with employees involved in addressing the letter. It is not yet known the exact number of employees who were forced to leave their jobs, but it is thought that so far, at least 5 of them have been included in the "dismissal list".
SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell sent an e-mail saying the company had investigated and fired a number of employees involved in drafting the letter. According to employees, this e-mail was "embarrassing, intimidating and bullying" and they point out that the letter was addressed because they were forced to sign something that did not reflect their views.
They listed 3 requests, among which they said that "SpaceX" should be a fantastic place, in which everyone should work, and demanded that company officials define and respond in the same way to all forms. of unacceptable behaviors.
Apparently, Elon Musk did enter (and continues to be) in discussions to buy Twitter to allow "free speech", but apparently he himself will not be violated by this freedom.
