Or Rockstar is simply lying to get rid of the union, most things here seem to be alleged only.

Since this is from court filings, that would be perjury if they can't back it up.

You'd have to reference rockstar's exact filings, since it's possible to paint a narrative that suggests something, without outright lying.

Would not be the first time a company lied.

> Rockstar is simply lying to get rid of the union

How would Rockstar being shown to have had a mole in the union advance Rockstar's interests?

Same reason why most companies don't want their workers to unionize?

In response to a comment about "that one person who ruins the game for everyone," a reference to the mole, you said "or Rockstar is simply lying to get rid of the union." That implies there wasn't a mole, Rockstar made it up.

I asked how making up a Rockstar mole in the union would advance any of Rockstar's goals at this junction.

Its not clear whether the OP was referring to the mole, or to the person(s) who were allegedly sharing confidential company information on an external, non-company Discord server. Rockstar claims that is why they fired them, though the fired employees allege it was to disrupt union organizing. Depending on ones point of view, either or both actors could be considered despicable.

I was indeed referring to the mole. I find that behaviour reprehensible.

Letting them dissolve or oppose the union?

You're saying Rockstar would make up a mole that didn't exist, now, and that would somehow help it keep the union dissolved? What?

tacomagick a day ago | parent [-]

Yeah pretty much?

Your hypothesis is Rockstar made up a fake mole, buried it, let the opposition find it and put it in a legal filing, and this somehow helps them. Got it.

If this isn't a troll account I'm worried.

If you do not think this is a possibility I guess you must see the world as sunshine and rainbows and corportaions working for our best interest, I don't know what to tell you. Evwrythinf can happen when your employee count is high.

I'm literally not seeing the throughline from A to B. It's like saying a greedy capitalist nuked himself as a gotcha. Like, how does that help him? I'm not saying he isn't capable of it. I just literally don't see how it helps him.

Free hype for their game, free advertising? You know they say there is no such thing as bad publicity.
