If you supported the firing of Antonio Garcia Martinez this should make you happy. If you thought that Apple overstepped their bounds by punishing a new hire for old creative work, this should outrage you, too.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a lot of consistency in peoples' views on these two closely related incidents. Why?
- ReptileMan 5y agoI am outraged, but on the other side for me the whole diversity industry is parasitic with undertones of blackmail. And I am generally speaking fan of poetic justice. Which puts the whole situation as the old joke said "what is mixed feeling - seeing your mother in law drive off the cliff in your new Ferrari" Another thing if we go more nuanced is that this "don't fire people for stupid shit" is something of a detente. I view it as pragmatism, not unbendable moral conviction. So if you have broken it, you are no longer protected by it. And let's be honest - chances of a person in this position not having a lot of outrage in his public social accounts is quite slim.
- geodel 5y ago> If you supported the firing of Antonio Garcia Martinez this should make you happy. Hardly. In fact only being transferred instead of fired from a cushy job shows one just has to be on right side of social justice movement to be shielded from past transgressions.
