You’re actually an idiot, I was fired a month ago for complaining amongst the company about their inoffice policy. Got a good severance, but they absolutely fired me for speaking my opinion
That's what they wrote on your paperwork?
"Reason for termination: spoke their mind"
GTFO out of here lmao
More likely you reacted to a super like you have in this comment thread; like an insolent child. Sorry you got checked.
By "complaining amongst the company" do you mean complaining to your coworkers about your company? If so, how did anyone with the power to fire you find out about it? And what exactly did you say?
If you led with "They're actually idiots," I have bad news for you
What? You’re an idiot because most companies retain the right to tell you to get off the property. They give you enough “strikes”, it doesn’t matter what you do. Also why they give severance, so I don’t try and make a deal about employment or “rights”.

I’ve provided more than enough information. It’s what happened dude. I wasn’t some floor worker. I was effectively at Director level. They don’t take kindly to consistently bending the company’s will, and you push back too many times they tell you to get lost
There's a serious difference between providing authentic feedback to your supervisor and complaining to your colleagues/subordinates or "bending the company's will"
I did this too and I didn’t get fired. May be it depends on the wording?
And how much, and how many people, and how much of a distraction… sometimes its worth just paying us off. I mean it isnt like they want it to get out of hand
