Not sure what "dragging" means in this context, but Facebook's response seem surprisingly appropriate in this case.
"he was fired after dragging a coworker who had refused to add a statement supporting the Black Lives Matter movement to an open-source document he was publishing..."
"Dail posted a tweet on June 2 criticizing his coworker, writing that “intentionally not making a statement is already political."
- dvtrn 6y ago“dragging” is sometimes used as a colloquialism for criticizing, harshly rebuking or “roasting”. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dragging https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dragging
- atonse 6y agoYup sounds like he was the one harassing his coworker. I say this as someone who supports the overall BLM movement and finds Facebook to be a pretty nasty company. But I can’t condone coworker harassment. At the end of the day, you can’t harass another human being into publicly saying they’re against harassment. There’s some twisted irony there.
- noisy_boy 6y agoIn addition to being appropriate, I think it is timely too considering the madness that is going on. People who don't hold a public office have a right to be silent just like they have a right to speak up. Badgering them to issue political statements and then involving them further when they refuse to, is nuts. I dislike Facebook pretty much most of the time but I'm glad that they took this step.
