    Every car Bungie CEO Pete Parsons purchased prior to the layoffs.

      With that much of a car addiction I bet he bought even more from non auction sources.

      Pretty sure since it’s a layoff they’ll argue it wasn’t specifically targeted as a form of discrimination. America is full of things that feel like they should be illegal, but aren’t.

      Like how my state has absolutely zero laws enforcing access to bathroom or food breaks at work. Totally baffling.

          No American court is going to hold an American company who fired (presumably) an American who (presumably) works on American soil liable under that. You’d be better off looking for local statutes that offer protections.

          Once again, the UDHR is not legally binding in any way.

      This should be the American catch phrase 😅

      We have the simplest justice system in the world. Everything is legal unless you’re poor in which case everything is illegal.
