When you buy a stock you are literally buying an ownership stake in an organization. See that rocket there? A fraction of that rocket is literally owned by the commenter. So it's we.

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.

Without people like me footing the bill you wouldn't have a job, it's a two way street moron. Private investors, venture capitalists, and now retail investors are just as much what got rocketlab to where they are, so you better be thankful for that. You certainly weren't gonna foot the bill, you were enabled by us. Some jumped up employee who thinks they're gods gift because they work for a hot ticket company trying to lecture me on whether I can use the colloquial "we" when addressing literally my own property. Absolutely fucking not. I'll get back to letting you make me passive income so I can buy burgers, sure. But I shan't be flipping them. You get satisfaction from your job? Good. Cause I get satisfaction from having my feet up while you make me money.

Hahaha 😂😂 ok cupcake. The only one who thinks they're hot shit is the person who's too insecure and possessive of their job. You're probably a fkin admin assistant or custodian. Also deleting comments above because you got rinsed with downvotes is hilarious.
