I expected nothing more obviously.

I write an email asking for things, I get fired, and then after a 3 month investigation, they say they should probably do some of the things I presumably got fired asking for, without holding anyone accountable for their actions. 1/

They're still doing what they're doing to my team, my co-lead's been locked out for 5 weeks. They timed a re-org announcement RIGHT BEFORE this. There's no connection right?

But 3 months later they obviously can't hold anyone with any real power accountable. Thats impossible 2/

I think we're all used to this at this point.

E.g. the call for "unity" and "moving forward" when asking for accountability for the insurrection. Thats what people in power do. Tried and true method to protect them. 3/

"It led some to question their place here, which I regret." More nonapologies. They are experts on this.

Email also hints towards more research censorship. A big win for ethics (not).

I imagine many researchers will leave with other companies taking advantage. Congrats. 3/

"increase its staff related to employee retention." Yea? When the HR, Legal and VPs conspire to fire someone like that what would "more staff for employee retention" do? What power do they have?

There is ZERO accountability. ZERO.
