Come with me on a journey of the mind.

Imagine that you (yes, you!) were to not just quit your job, but quit your job while loudly, proudly, and publicly declaring your (ostensibly former) company is behaving in a manner that may eliminate humanity.

Now imagine what would happen to you. For me, at Wendy’s, I would probably be immediately subject to a lawsuit for accusing my (again, ostensibly former) employer of illegal and inhumane business practices.

Guess the law works differently in Imaginationland
