Employees striking about making unsafe planes?

Fire 10% of the company as a threat!

That will 100% not backfire on you :), and, now, I'm sure the planes will get completed 10x faster and this will end the strike!

You've done capitalism!

Here, have a temp stock boost and C-suite raises :)

"Striking workers who temporarily do not have a paycheck do not want to become unemployed workers who permanently do not have a paycheck," Hayes said in an email. "I would estimate the strike will be resolved within a week as these workers do not want to find themselves in the next batch of 17,000 cuts."

Hahahahahahahahahahahaaaa

Motherfucker even if that works out for you this time (strong chance it won't) the outcome of doing it is the creation of tens of thousands of extremely angry people that will carry their experience and anger into the next one.

If all the other idiot CEOs see this CEO succeed with this tactic they'll do the same shit and over the course of just a few short years you'll have hundreds of thousands of deeply pissed off people.

It's the experience of shit like this that hardens the working class over time and turns them into a pot ready to boil over.

Didn't Trump and Musk just get in trouble for making similar threats, with an actual investigation opened into it?
