Everyone is. A company will always fire the troublemaker, because it's a PR nightmare if they don't.

- js8 9y ago> Everyone is. I think that sentence is missing a word that turns it into a point you wanted to make. > because it's a PR nightmare if they don't Why it should be a PR nightmare? Why cannot his bosses say, we are not doing vigilante justice here, and refuse to yield to "angry mob"? It seems to me like a morally better position to take.

- curtisblaine 9y agoMake no mistake: I completely agree with you. But it seems that companies these days are willing to go any length to avoid a PR scandal. The standard company response in highly-publicized "angry mob" cases seems to be firing. Justine Sacco, the "dongle" guys, Damore, etc. So I'm guessing that in their profit/loss charts, avoiding a PR scandal is higher than resisting the will of the mob.
