Frankly, this “much responsibility” shouldn’t exist in a sane world, but the issue is that in today’s world pretty much anything you say can & will be considered offensive by someone and they’re gonna try and shame your brand.
> One employee's rant doesn't make company fail
I have yet to see a case like this, but despite that all marketing & executive-level people seem to believe that, and are happy to fire people in order to save face and reiterate that this behaviour is not approved by the company.
But again, in this case I think the outcome was deserved. I’m tired of people bringing up the gender & sexism card for a simple problem of “someone is wrong on the internet”.
- js8 8y ago"Frankly, this “much responsibility” shouldn’t exist in a sane world" Exactly, that's why employees should organize and the society at large should determine where the sanity lies. "But again, in this case I think the outcome was deserved. I’m tired of people bringing up the gender & sexism card for a simple problem of “someone is wrong on the internet”." So you disagree in general but here you think it was deserved, because you happen to disagree with her? That's not fair, I think, and is "end justifies the means" argument.
- Rjevski 8y agoI think it’s deserved in this case because people often bring up gender, sexism, etc to their advantage with often disastrous results for the victim (that only committed the “crime” of being wrong on the internet), so I’m glad this didn’t go according to plan and backfired. Besides this case I agree with you, people shouldn’t be fired for something they do on their personal social media (although this case also blurs the line on that front, as she was discussing her job as a game developer).
