>but I sure will take it personally the next time that company tries to make deals with me later in my career.

You don't do deals with companies who fire people? You wouldn't be working for any company in the world then. IIRC in communism they never fired people, maybe that system will serve you better. Oh wait...

>I don't like being treated as a slave.

I wish you all spoiled rich western workers would stop using the slave word so easily whenever an employer does something to you, as it dilutes the meaning and the severity of the word. Similar with the over misuse of the words woke and nazi.

Please read up on what slavery actually meant and the lives of actual slaves. Working in tech in the richest country in the world, and being fired by Dropbox isn't even remotely in the same ball-planet as slavery.
