[–] s12@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (8 children) I would.

Sure, I suppose they could all just hang around and work as volunteers, but I suspect they'll be doing that exodus thing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] madkarlsson@beehaw.org 1 point 2 years ago (3 children) Mass firing is not an exodus. Exodus is when people are fleeing, and generally in terms of liberation. Firing people is just firing people permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) No definition I've ever heard requires an exodus to be initiated by the people leaving. Also, if you read the comment that started all this, I was explicit that I didn't mean employee-led. So thanks for stopping by weeks later to display your ignorance and/or lack of reading comprehension. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] madkarlsson@beehaw.org 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Someone on the internet hasn't heard it so that must be wrong then! Save your saltiness for 9gag, friend. I saw that you specifically wrote that but you also continued using exodus in the first sense, as the one you replied to did. But you just wanted to be snarky to that person I guess. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago It's okay buddy, your definition of exodus was wrong. Just let it go. As for the rest, I made a sarcastic comment based entirely on fact, they asked for proof of my statement, I gave them everything they needed to verify it. I'm sorry if my comment was too harsh for your sensibilities, but if that's the worst you've heard on Lemmy, them I'm glad for you. permalink fedilink source parent
