How would he even know? He wasn't allowed into the factories.

Good point. He would have known.

Possible he had an insider who could tell him that there weren't any protections in place?

mikecoles | karma 321 | avg karma 0.52 · | 2021-08-18 06:52:03

He would've have been aware of the conditions that would have led to such activities.

DenisM | karma 12146 | avg karma 2.48 · | 2008-11-09 23:23:16+00:00

Did you try the actual headline story?

He knew pefectly well he was not allowed there, he prepared and succeeded.

Do we know he did not want to go?

If only someone had warned him of their secretive culture before he started.

It seems like he would have been the only one in the position to do it (the employees were kept in the dark about a lot of things).

If they didn't know about him, they were incompetent.

More likely, they knew about him and made a bet he would side with them. They were wrong.

Well, true and it's expected he would know that as well

I wouldn't have accepted any tea at the meeting let's put it this way

That's one way to look at it. Another interpretation would be that he knew about specific things, assumed there were other bad things he hadn't learned about yet, and couldn't filter through it himself.

nostrademons | karma 78749 | avg karma 5.45 · | 2013-01-14 23:24:19+00:00

He may've believed that the people who he would have to ask permission from are doing something wrong.

jstewartmobile | karma 2448 | avg karma 1.51 · | 2016-12-26 13:23:10+00:00

Guessing from his public persona, he was probably oblivious to it.

tekromancr | karma 1619 | avg karma 2.38 · | 2013-06-20 22:32:48

Maybe he would have failed the "commie traitor" check /s

garmaine | karma 2787 | avg karma 0.77 · | 2021-04-23 19:44:08+00:00

He wouldn't have had advance knowledge.

gadders | karma 9202 | avg karma 1.52 · | 2023-02-01 12:59:09

Do you think he even knew of this decision?

mlyle | karma 13869 | avg karma 2.63 · | 2022-11-20 21:27:06

He refused contact with outsiders.

Would you have preferred that he had been forcibly contacted and educated, to make an "informed" choice, in the name of his liberty and/or autonomy?

I know this is probably a rhetorical question, but the answer is: "He felt like it, and he has no boss to reign in such impulses."

xwolfi | karma 1054 | avg karma 0.78 · | 2021-12-05 23:46:31

He obv didnt know

simonblack | karma 2316 | avg karma 0.51 · | 2022-12-08 14:52:36

They were uncertain whether to give him a pass?
