What? People get fired over personal choices all the time. If I leered at women at the office, then told them it was fine because they secretly liked it, I'd be out in no time. It's a personal choice to do that, and to support a candidate who does the same, but the company can absolutely take your choices into account when figuring out who isn't needed.
- fsloth 10y agoThere is a difference between having private non-conforming opinions and openly harassing colleagues. Only the latter is an obvious lack of virtue.
- akvadrako 10y agoAlthough to be fair, it's not clearcut. If you quietly say you support someone who is openly harassing colleagues, that is basically harassment by proxy. Being less direct could actually be worse, since it's passive-aggressive. I'm not implying that applies in this case.
- fsloth 10y agoI agree, it's not that clearcut and you provided a great counterexample to my argument. My example was intended for mostly disjoint private and professional spheres but I did not specify it.
