minus-squareOnno (VK6FLAB)@lemmy.radiolinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 hours agoOver the years I’ve seen people in high profile roles resign in protest, but I’ve never understood it. I still don’t. Is the whole point to bring attention to an issue and then what, hope for the best? Is it not being able to look at yourself in the mirror and resigning with extra steps? Is it a public dummy spit? How does resigning actually fix something, or is that not a consideration? As I said, I don’t understand. Anyone?
