supposed confidential information in a public forum… that hasn’t leaked anywhere
Rockstar says they fired ~40 employees for leaking confidential information on Discord
"We took action against a small number of individuals who were found to be distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum, a violation of our company policies. This was in no way related to people’s right to join a union or engage in union activities"
(via @business)
What leaks?
GTA 6 studio Rockstar Games has accused the employees it recently fired of leaking confidential information. bit.ly/4oVJosb

The @scottishgreens stand with the dozens of workers sacked by @RockstarGames for exercising their right to organise a union.
Reinstate them now, then get around the table and give your staff the pay and conditions they deserve for making you billions.
We won't back down - @RockstarGames reinstate our members!
No one should be fired for union activity.
