As a millennial, why does every aspect of our life have to be so performative? People are mistaking attention seeking for "transparency". If you spend every waking of your moment on camera or making everyone around you paranoid about being on camera, no one in your life including yourself is every going to be genuine. Besides, it's a dumb thing to do. Depending on the state you or the HR person is in you could be violating 2-party consent laws.

What a poor take that projects your own biases onto the situation. Every layoff should be recorded and she broke no laws.

    "Could be", should have said verifiable to keep you happy, Brittany Pietsch is in a one party consent state. https://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/georgia-recording-law https://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/georgia-recording-law The thing that rubbed me the wrong way is that @legitster most likely knew this, and this why they said, "could be violating ..." and then the whole comment comes off like a pro-corporate scare post to not call out shitty tactics. It is disingenuous. It is shallow and dismissive to call what she did the act of a performative millennial. By the point this article came up, it was widely known for those paying attention that Pietsch committed no crimes in recording this.

      > @legitster most likely knew this You knew what state the other people on the call were in? Were their names even revealed? Even if they were, why would you assume others are as invested in this story that they’d seek out that info?

      i dont understand the first sentence you wrote at all what state were the other two callers in? you also wrote all layoffs should be recorded knowing that it would violate law in some states. this sounds pretty disingenuous. by "paying attention" you mean someone highly invested in this like you are, with the same weirdo aggro activist tone

  Maybe every interaction with HR should be recorded, but almost none of them should be posted to TikTok. That eliminates anonymity, and increases the chance of bias for future employers.

As Gen X, I don't think many young people can help it at this point. I don't use social media because I hate the way it invades my thoughts and mediates my experiences into a judgement of post worthiness. If you grew up filming the most trivial aspects of your life it should not be a surprise if you feel the need to film something as important as losing a job. Personally, it wouldn't even occur to me to film such a thing let alone to post it online. I would have assumed it would be illegal to film without the other side having a clue you are filming. If I grew up filming literally everything though the idea of it being illegal I am sure would sound ridiculous and not even enter my mind. I am sure the thought process didn't go beyond this being some potentially really good "content". The strangest thing to me is I have been let go from a job before. It is surely not a moment I wish to relive.
