Practically, these are great, fair, and true points, and I agree with them. Idealistically, another side of me fucking hates this. Nothing would ever change, and humanity would never progress if we withheld our differences of opinion. At what point does an opinion become too extreme to share?
- blazingfrog2 13y agoHe is absolutely free to share it. As he said in a previous rant, "this is a free country". However, it seems foolish of him to expect the entity he represents to continue employing him when his views go against that entity's interest (making money).
- fingerprinter 13y agoWhen it is conflated with your work, or you education or anything that is not 100% you. And have absolutely no illusions. If you have a hateful opinion, fine. But if you are very vocal about it, even just between the walls of work, don't expect to not be disciplined for it. You are creating a hostile work environment and, well, I'm sorry, you can't expect to protected in that case. And, btw, this is not hard. Get a different twitter account if you want to spout your opinions. Make sure it has no connection to your work. I have three twitter accounts. One is "me", that I use for work stuffs. One is more for close friends and people I know in public. The last is my controversial one that I use.
