> On Friday, January 8th, GitHub separated with an employee.
What an absurdly passive corporate euphemism for GitHub wrongfully firing one of their employees.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI don't know if I'd read that much into it. It's possible that the employee was asked to resign for severance instead of getting fired outright, and Github just wants to make sure they're being accurate. After all, the rest of the post makes it pretty clear they acknowledge their mistake.
- pseudalopex 6y agoSaying they coerced the employee to resign would be accurate too then. The euphemism isn't needed.
- the-dude 6y agoWasn't there a similar, but different euphemism used in the Google vs the histrionic AI researcher? I try to remember, but can't. Yet.
- ReptileMan 6y agoI think that with google she resigned. She offered her resignation if her demands were not met.
- pseudalopex 6y agoShe proposed discussing a resignation date if her conditions weren't met. Google fired her immediately.
