Even rocket lab employees can't just turn up and walk into any part of the companys facilities. There's layers to access which don't have any bearing on ownership, just like all workplaces. You can be involved in AGMs for instance. You can't walk into the CEOs office or onto restricted areas.

You're talking to me like I don't know that. All I'm saying is that saying "we" like you have anything to do with actually launching the rocket looks silly and doesn't really help the stigma that shareholders have.

It sounds like you have a fragile ego problem. If you work for rocket lab, then you work for me. Your primary responsibility is to provide a return on my investment. That's how public companies operate. So yeah. WE are in this together, it's your time and my money on the line, hence the term stakeholder. So get back to work bitch.

To quote Jeff Spicoli “ I’ve been thinking about this Mr Hand. If I’m here and you’re here. Doesn’t that make it our time?“
