Do you think that potentially firing someone for making such a comment is part of a reasonable consensus? Or is it something about which reasonable people can disagree?
- MartinCron 15y agoI think the consensus is that the comment is not appropriate for a professional context. As far as firing goes? I personally wouldn't fire someone for the first bullshit sexist remark, but I would make it perfectly clear that the next bullshit sexist comment would be the last one. I am not sure where the reasonable consensus is around that issue. I personally care more about the victim than the perpetrator.
- BenOfTomorrow 15y agoI read that as potentially firing someone as an expected outcome, not a desired/optimal one. HR is short for CYA. Clearly the author is hesitant to report it because of that outcome.
