This is such a weak argument. It’s like responding to an airplane crash and saying ”No way that crash actually happened, I used to work in aviation, and the amount of work that goes into making sure airplanes never crash is staggering! It’s such a huge problem for the company if a plane crashes, so there is zero room for getting it wrong, it must be a fake news hoax!”
While everything states is true. We all know that airplanes do in fact crash, both due to human error and due to institutional errors.
- simonh 5y agoRight, nobody here (unless an insider in the case) has a clue what is actually behind this, but that won't stop a lot of people projecting their assumptions on it and leaping to conclusions. Cases like this, certainly in the early stages before further details come out and likely even after that, are ideological Rorschach tests.
- jmull 5y agoYou analogy is poor. No one is saying she wasn’t fired, just that the reasons she was fired for were likely legitimate. (Personally I would guess she got the attention of management through her activism, then they watched and waited for her to do something clearly against company policy so they had a good excuse to fire her. Whether that’s strictly legitimate or not, I don’t know. Maybe it will be settled in court.)
- ozzythecat 5y agoDisagree with this. I work at another FAANG. Firing is a long, painful, tedious process. Lots of checks in place along the way. If someone is fired, the odds that it happened for unjust reasons isn’t zero but close to it in my experience.
