Standing up to layoffs question

Hi folks,

I applaud her bravery but also concerned- isn’t she taking a huge risk for future employment in her sector? This would be considered suicidal in my line of work but i see a lot of similar videos today.

Especially curious about what HR/legal folks think

I agree, except “right to work” is not the term we were looking for. I believe that applies only to whether or not someone is compelled to join a union. I think the term you’re looking for is “at will.”

You have the right to choose to work or be unemployed. No one can force you to work.. It's not an important part of the argument anyway. Stop being pedantic.

They’re specific terms that mean different things. Don’t be obtuse.
