I think you're being a bit unfair to claim that the Feds were "ensuring" anything. Perhaps you've heard the term "pick the battles you can win". That wasn't one of them. In any case, while most of us knew what the real intent from the company was, and could see it for the crap it was, knowing is one thing, proving is another. Calling them out on it was not going to change the outcome. How could it? Too late after the fact. There are plenty of failings all round in this circus. The last thing we as a workforce need is this bull**** infighting. That is simply handing the company the tools to beat us with. But, what the f@ck would I know.
