      I was about to reply with

      When did it stop being cool to get fired for standing up for your principles

      and then I remembered how uncool it made me and everyone else I've known who did it and how negatively it affected everyone's life.

      fuck.

      Then they shouldn't be asking for sympathy. The "epic" historical moments that all these people want to be apart of don't just happen. Sometimes you have to put your job on the line to make that historical difference

        They're not asking for sympathy, they're just whining, it's what lanyards do
