Because they already have an internet plan, and internet coverage is ubiquitous around them. So SMS is just a slower, more expensive option with fewer features.

I don't think I've sent an SMS to someone in 10 years now, that's how "ancient" it is to most people around here. It's like sending a fax, reputation wise.

    I agree with this take. Whichever way OP meant it, his post can absolutely be interpreted as a call to prepare for (lethal) violence against law enforcement. And promoting concealed carry in general suggests promoting it in the workplace as well (especially because it was on a company Slack channel). I can understand that that gets people nervous.

    I doubt there were any bad intentions on OPs part, and to them a warning probably would have sufficed. But I can understand the opposite position, so I don't think the dismissal is entirely unjustified. Heavy-handed, sure.

    Poking holes in certain details is nice and fun but ultimately not really all that important. For example, whether HR talked to them in 1 day or 3 is a detail, it's not critical to the case. And that they never argued their wrongful dismissal case on freedom of speech grounds is irrelevant. They likely already found that they weren't fired for organizing a union (or at least, there's no evidence that that is the reason presented here), so the next best defense is protected speech (which this also isn't).
