Great, so, you post that you used to hate all Vikings... And you're my manager. And now I sue the company because I didn't get a raise, back in the time before the post. You can't pretend there are no consequences to stating you have feelings that can impact other people. Even if what you're claiming is that you're reformed. "I'm a recovering alcoholic," says the doctor. "Great!" say all of the lawyers with malpractice lawsuits against the doctor. You just can't avoid those consequences. People will always hold horrible views. That's not going to change. Of course there's an incentive to change your opinion - growth. If you need to PERFORM that you've grown, then I think that's pretty dangerous attention seeking. If you want to make a livelihood out of being a leader, where your transformation is part of your credentials, then yes, that's a risk, which you have to calculate. > That doesn't really help address the underlying issues of racism, -isms, etc, at all.... I'm not really convinced talking does address those. Especially not on social media. I think people have to get to know each other on a personal basis. It's funny to me how we all run so hot and cold on social media. Right now, y'all are defending social media, in the context of performing that you're reformed on some topic. Also, so much of this is tied up in the context of employee / employer relationships. Like, if you don't work for a company, you're probably way more free to express your views, to a point. Like for instance, Bill Cosby wants to do a stand-up tour. Should he be "cancelled"? If you feel strongly no, then, well, I guess you can support venues that want to host him. Some companies are going to shun people like this VP. Maybe you want to support companies that don't. Or what about the Google Creep [1]? How much should he have to apologize, or take sensitivity training, etc, before you'd hire him at a company where he'd be in touch with sensitive user information? We're all going to have different answers to that. We can't come up with one rule. So, maybe you want to support companies that give people like him a second chance. I don't feel that need. There's lots of other parameters that are way more important to me, in evaluating companies I want to do business with, than their being responsible for managing the healing and forgiving process for people who made public mistakes that put the companies they worked for in potentially hot legal water.
