The guy he was tweeting back and forth with said something to the effect of "If you guys actually knew us, you'd know we're friends and we're just joking," at the end of it.
We don't need to go back in time more than two weeks to realize the social shitshow that can be Twitter and how it can have an impact on your employment. Whether it was a joke all along or not, it was a stupid sentiment to troll with when speaking as even the slightest bit of a representative for Microsoft.
- Delenda 14y ago> we're just joking The worst thing he could really have done at this point was hide all of his tweets, particularly that one. If he kept something up saying it was just friendly banter, of course I don't really believe this, etc, then he could have not only saved him image, but also gotten more people to see him as ON their side vs against them. A huge boon for himself and his company as a whole. People are people, and I can't expect a person to show absolutely zero character and personality outside of their company branding (And I am blessed to work for a company who thinks likewise). As a person and a figure of the industry, his opinion on things is something to pay attention to. If he could have just kept up that jk/lol tweet, things probably would not have turned out so nasty.
