I used to work for a company that had an American department. They were shit scared to make any changes/upgrades for fear of anything going wrong and thus getting the bullet. So, we had to do most of it. Expand You basically can be fired on a whim, but there must be cause, however flimsy. Not replying to an email cannot be taken as resignation or indeed grounds for firing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinRobin 12934 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Extortion - pure and simple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 6446 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 It is extortion, and there is no defending it. Not only do we need to move away from the US strategically, we also need to shift from their systems and infrastructure. This is going to be a painful few years for Europe as we all come to terms with this, but honestly on the other side of it things might be quite positive with more reliance on homegrown considerations. I mean it's a long shot if we even get there without first tearing ourselves apart from within, but assuming we can stave that off, we might be in a much better position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 52540 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 At least the Ukrainian people will get to see who he really is now. They were on about naming things after him a couple of years ago, when all he was doing was using them to run away from domestic issues and cosplay as Churchill. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
