This modern trend of trying to fire people whose speech we don't like is nuts.
I suspect, possibly incorrectly, that it's being done heavily by people who have never tried to support a family and don't realize the extreme damage their "hobby" has on the world.
- VikingCoder 11y agoI don't think it's modern - every elected politician has faced this.
- yellowapple 11y agoRight, but those are elected officials. Appeasing the public is their job. That's not the case for, say, some graphic designer somewhere, and said graphic designer being fired over some remark on the Internet is absurd.
- VikingCoder 11y agoWell, in this case, we're not talking about some graphic designer... We're talking about the Chief Executive Officer of a social media corporation. I don't LIKE that people get that kind of scrutiny... But I think it should be legal, and we have to live with the unfortunate consequences. As to the graphic designer... I don't have a good answer for that. Keep your unpopular opinions at arm's length from your professional life...? :(
