I'm as leftist as it gets, but parent (and I assume you) is talking about cancellation. I don't think it's honest to compare a cancellation with having "zero people in the world who want to work with you".
Often cancellations happen due to external pressure, and even in cases where there's internal pressure (eg: Netflix-Chapelle-gate), there is definitely a non-zero number of people willing to work with the canceled person (and no, it's not only "other bigots" in this category).
- md8z 5y agoI'm not the one who made the comparison, the parent comment suggested that no one would give that person a job. I know people who are unable to get jobs anywhere. They tend to suffer from debilitating physical or mental health issues through no fault of their own. To me it's unfair to compare that to a person who got let go for having some kind of professional disagreement with management. I mean I just can't believe that this keeps coming up in the context of startups as if it's something weird or unusual. If management says they don't want to serve some customers, and you want to serve those customers, then... go somewhere else that will? And if it turns out nobody wants to serve those customers (or those customers just aren't profitable) maybe management was right all along, and it was a bad business decision to begin with?
