unless it was a dongle joke at a tech conference.
- beat 11y agoEducate yourself on what happened. Did you know that the woman who reported the dongle joke was fired from her job because she reported it? And that she received actual threats for it? http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/21/a-dongle-joke-that-spiraled-way-out-of-control/ http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/21/a-dongle-joke-that-spiraled... I don't know who the anonymous joker was (who got fired, and then publicly apologized for his inappropriate joke), but I'm fairly certain he would have found another job pretty easily. "Career ruined" is still not correct language for this situation.
