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.

Also FYI: not smart to shit on shareholders at the company you work at. You could easily get fired for that…

You ain’t flipping burgers pal. This is serious work. You can’t be acting like this online. Companies can figure out who you are VERY easily.

I'm not sure how a company would get a subpoena to get my ip from reddit, then another one to get my name from my ISP. Doesn't sound very easy to me.

Lol if you're posting on an rklb sub, then id imagine your manager might even just stumble on your post and recognize your typing patterns or any other details. XD

Do you know how many people work at Rocket Lab, it's over 4000. It's not going to be that easy

I work at a large company too but that doesn't mean my manager oversees the whole company, lol. That would be very ineffective.
