    There is nothing wrong with them trying to influence the way they vote.
    If you try to make the boss publicly look foolish or wrong for some reason is simply a bad idea. There is no reason for the employee to tell the boss how they voted.

    So, despite the fact that the president did not threaten to fire the snowflake if he voted the wrong way, which would be impossible to know, the snowflake felt intimidated and leaked an internal memo to hurt the company that paid his salary. The President of the company simply told his employees the obvious. If Biden is elected and shuts down the airline industry completely, as he is likely to do, there may not be work for a company that makes tools used by the industry.

    This should be in psychology today. It certainly isn't political news. The snowflake has some severe emotional problems.

    No he said layoffs is possible if Biden wins and goes back to Obama's regulations or adds new ones on.

    You are trying so hard to imply negative regulations is positive for a company.

    Trump got plenty done, just because you don't like it doesn't mean he didn't get things done

    LOL Now, not only are you misinterpreting the actual content of the letter, out of thin air, you are going to add in that HR wasn't aware that the letter was going out in the same envelope with payroll?

    How about the company attorney? Since you know information which is not in the news, and contort facts which are in the news to your own liking, did Daniels run the letter by the company lawyer to make sure it was legal?

    That CEO has a lot a free time on his hands to secretly write the letter, make 200 copies, and stuff the payroll envelopes....just so that he could intimidate employees into voting Trump 2020....because getting sued is always a lot of fun. o_O

    Seriously. Even a small to medium sized company would have run the letter by a lawyer first, and the CEO and HR director would have had a discussion about it.

    LOL The very first news report noted that Daniel's actions to express political preferences were legal.

    The Lincoln Republicans are not serious conservative Republicans. They are moneyed elite establishment RINO's who prefer that the establishment RINO/DINO oligarchy to stay in power. No outsiders. No choice of the little people. Those guys are powerful political influencers and lobbyists, part of the swamp that tells naive voters what to think and who to vote for.

    They might prefer to campaign for Jeb Bush, but they will campaign for an establishment DINO over an outsider any day. There is no money in it for them if a grassroots candidate wins without needing the services and connections of the Washington system of insiders. Lots of money changes hands between RINO's and DINO's.

    If you build an empire around your power and corruption, you defend the castle against nosy outsiders coming in to criticize and reform that political empire.

    He's entitled to his opinion as well as the owner. He's not entitled to run to the media with it.

    The Expensify CEO's letter was 100% political and basically said that voting for Trump was a vote against democracy, which is the same as saying that Trump voters (half the country) are anti-American. That'll cost them.

    Anyway if he had sent the letter to employees instead of (or in addition to customers) I would not be "screaming bloody murder" for a federal lawsuit. I would be recommending that employees who felt uncomfortable quit the company and go somewhere else (as I've indicated before in this thread). If you ain't happy, then leave.

    Smith just needs to go to a company he likes if he doesn't like working for DMC "because of politics". Florida is a right to work state.

    Anyway, I've been amused watching Expensify's customers cancelling contracts with that company effective the last day of this month. If you piss off your employees, they quit and go work somewhere else. If you piss of your customers, they quit and take their money somewhere else. Expensify will lose so many customers that they will probably have to layoff some workers.

    It's very efficient really. Who needs a stinkin' lawsuit when no crime was committed? LOL

    Wait.

    This guy, whose posts have been liked a lot by the leftists on this forum, turns out to be against Trump?

    Wow. Color me surprised.

    And this whole notion that he was seriously on the fence about whom to vote for is a facade meant to hoodwink anyone on our side who was not bright enough to figure him out from the get-go.

    Oh, people should just quit and go work elsewhere? Where have you been? Do you think we're in a low unemployment period? People are terrified of losing their jobs and not finding another one. Talk about being out-of-touch! Jesus!

    Unless we get Covid under control, either via vaccine or some miracle cure, we are not going to see a rapid economic recovery regardless of who is in the White House.

    [QUOTE="Borat, post: 1072154155, member: 54281"]But I said Trump wasn't Bush :) Trump's GOP is not Bush's GOP, their policies domestic and foreign have nothing in common, like nothing at all whatsoever. (todays dems have nothing in common with Bill Clinton either for that matter)

    Lest we forget that the economy under Republican Reagan was great too.

    Lest we forget that Obama/Biden's economy was sluggish like a Toyota Corolla at best, Trump's economy before COVID was a rocket in comparison, everyone benefitted, millions lifted out of poverty, virtually full employment, skyrocketing stock market, skyrocketing wages across the board....

    Your claim that historically Dems are better for the economy than the Republicans is not necessarily completely inaccurate.... historically... but not any more, we lived through 8 years of Obama and 3 years of Trump. From the economy's perspective they are in different leagues entirely :)[/QUOTE]

    And yet, same result.

    If there's no threat why hide? Why fire the employee for releasing the letter? Deeds count more than words.

    It's only the latest part of escalation(which I also have been a part of.). If one side takes a step, the other side takes another step and so forth we go in a dance of bickering and harming the other when we don't really need to. People shouldn't be threatened for their livelihoods anymore than they should be fired for expressing their personal or political views.

    The employee wasn't fired. He quit on his own. That info came out later.

    That's like saying that the robber didn't threaten you with a gun, but just "informed" you that you might get shot if you didn't turn in all your money. I bet you'd be thanking them for giving you "the heads up" as you hand him your purse.

    Ridiculous!

    This is voter intimidation. And every American who cares about their country to defend our electoral system would be outraged by it. But this is not new. We have known for years which Americans don't care one bit about defending our Democracy. They did it four years ago, and they will do it any time it helps their willingness to put their political party above their country.

    When someone goes to vote in person, or do it by mail, how does anyone else know who they voted for?

    They don't, it's not possible.

    ...Or find a better way to leak something that stupid to the proper authorities. I doubt he'll be unemployed long after some leftist decides he's a good virtue-signal to light up for the holidays.

    Would it kill your spotless record if you ever bothered to give a link? Probably.
