Opinions are one thing. Intelligence briefings need to be fact regardless of how you feel about the actual events going on.

Interestingly, I read this as a situation where Booz Allen subcontracted a portion of this to another company and they gave the opinion and Booz just delivered the report without verification and validation. I take it that it wasn’t a Booz Allen employee who did this but maybe I’m wrong.

Definitely not an opinion, the rush to categorize it as such is comical

Conflicted about this

Technically Snowden and this guy did violate the company polices / contract they signed up for. So it is up to the company to fire them

But I don’t think they should be persecuted if they highlighted a genuine issue in public interest

Ok. So you are making a political point

Like I said, I’m conflicted. It is COMPLETELY up to Booz to fire whoever they want. It’s a private enterprise. It can be for any reason including this. They can fire people for jeopardizing their government contracts , they can fire people for publishing something they don’t agree with or they can fire people if the client (aka the government) do not like a contractor

As far as politics of it, outside of Booz right to fire whoever they want, I don’t think the person should not be prosecuted legally for providing an opinion through the channels available to them. The channel owner can ban them or fire them.

Your personal opinions about Elon musk and DOGE is fine. As long as you don’t make it firm’s opinion. That’s what Booz is saying.

Basically he made a “memo” that was a bunch of personal opinion bs and he was trying to use Booz Allen’s authority to pass it as fact.

The number of settlements Booz has paid the federal government and/or whistleblowers is astounding.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
