Literally head of product at Twitter, and still not enough clout to have paternity leave respected.

Literally head of product at Twitter, and still not enough clout to have paternity leave respected.
- jjmorrison 4y agoHe's still doing his paternity leave and will be paid through it. Company just needs to get going on hiring someone else in the job.
- encoderer 4y agoIt’s sort of the opposite. A low level IC would not be called while on leave to be fired. But when the company needs a change of excecutive leadership, they aren’t going to wait months because you had a baby. I’m sure he’s being paid through the end of his leave period and besides is compensated in the millions.
- firstSpeaker 4y agoYep, that is how it is. People are fired when they are on parental leave only if they are high enough in the ladder that matters.

- oh_sigh 4y agoWhat's wrong with firing someone on paternity leave? It's not like he was fired because he was on paternity leave.
- justinator 4y agoMaybe they would like to focus on their newborn, their wife, the new family dynamic - you know: important things - and not some stupid web app - which is what I would assume, since they're on maternity leave in the first place.
- Domenic_S 4y agoGood news then - he doesn't have to focus on some stupid web app anymore! And lord knows he's not worried about providing for his family.
- justinator 4y agoAnd all without agency over the decision!
- oh_sigh 4y agoDoes anyone ever have 100% agency in a decision when there are multiple mutually consenting parties involved?
- oh_sigh 4y agoWould it be better if he was fired the day he came back into the office?
- justinator 4y agoYes.
- justinator 4y agoI absolutely agree. I don't care what the work email is - even if it's "hey you're fired". You're making them work while he's on leave. The guy is tweeting all these bullshit, empty "my incredible journey" tweets for Twitter damage control. Absolutely toxic workplace.
