"Two of his colleagues warned him that he was potentially heading toward disaster; another, according to Kriegman, screamed that he “should fucking do [his] job” instead of spending time fighting about Black Lives Matter. (None of the Reuters employees returned a request for comment.)"
It sounds like instead of doing the job they hired him to do, he was spending his time arguing about BLM. I mean expressing his opinion is one thing but if it's to the point that his presence is an overall negative for the company, he should be fired.
I mean this guy knew he'd be fired if he kept doing what he was doing and chose to get fired, so it's hard to have any sympathy for him.
It's like if someone goes to work for Fox News and spends all their time arguing with everyone at the company about how Democrats are great and Republicans are evil, they will get fired too.
- civilized 5y agoThis opinion makes sense if we're fine casting Thomson Reuters as merely the flip side of Fox News, rather than an organization that aspires to a higher integrity culture.
