Depending on how much reach this gets, it may have been a brilliant career move for her, though I don't think it was intentional really. (Edit: That is, I think she was being genuine when writing this and I don't think this was a "PR Stunt" or whatever the individual level of that would be)
She has a degree in English and wants to be a writer. She writes a real person's perspective on income inequality during the presidential election debates where it's a major campaign issue. On top of that she even gets fired for it, making the whole thing even more authentic.
I wouldn't be surprised if she manages to get a job offer from a left leaning publication relatively soon.
- freyr 11y agoAfter receiving a job offer, she loaded up on credit card debt and signed a lease she couldn't afford. This was an obvious mistake, which led to a situation she should have seen coming. And that's OK. We've all made decisions that look obviously wrong in hindsight. The problem, for me, is that her post doesn't acknowledge any personal responsibility in the situation. It seems more intended to extort her employer by shaming them and placing the blame squarely on their shoulders. I can't imagine this looks good to many employers.
