Was it for public statements that might be construed as creating a hostile work environment?
I don’t know why it’s so hard for leadership to just keep their nose clean, avoid making any sweepingly bigoted statements, do their jobs, and make their millions. If you’re an embarrassment for the company as an IC you’re gone, even if it happened in your personal life and not at work. Why should leadership be held to a lesser standard, especially when they actually do hold power over people’s lives and careers?
Its 2023 and we’re still doing the “blizzard defense”, employees just need to live with the hostile work environment, it’s personal beliefs/not serious, right? And while some companies might let you get away with it, the law is not exactly on your side either.
- FeepingCreature 3y agoAny political statement might be construed as creating a hostile work environment. CEOs have the right to voice political opinions off work just as much as anybody. I mean, I realize that's a lost cause, but I still believe it.
