Sorry, another news from this asshole, but this is too much assholery to don’t be shared
Despite him being a shitty boss that fired employees that criticized him on twitter, he promised an “unlimited” legal defense fund to fight against employers that fired employees because of something they wrote on Twitter.
Under his tweet a lot of “verified” (=right wing) accounts plauded this and asked to fight employers who fired employees for having written something homophobic
I didn’t say I think I’m friends with my company but to expect consequences when you get caught talking shit.
Sure, to a point.
Ever wonder why they never fire the bigot before they go public? The bigots I’ve met in life have really sucked at keeping their mask on, do you really think their employers (and fellow employees) were oblivious? Or was it only when there was publicity involved and the company feared for their own reputation, rather than the safety of their other employees, that they do something about it?
Yet if you tweet “my boss sucks”, it probably won’t go viral or get any publicity, but your employer can just as easily fire you for “talking shit” that literally didn’t cause harm to anyone.
You specified:
Meaning if the company found you talking shit about it, and the fact that you think your employer can and should have that level of control over your thoughts and actions is actually terrifying.
If I find out my company is a piece of shit I’m leaving, why shouldn’t they be allowed to end the arrangement?
im just a bystander to this conversation but it really seems like you saw all those words in that comment and treated them like a fart in the wind, and then just wrote whatever you felt like.
that’s a really privileged position to be in that billions of others don’t have
(don’t feel the need to add any more, @viq has it more than covered! 👍)

You’re doing great!

Why should they be able to for reasons not related to my work performance or outright violations of work code? Are we back to feudalism, where a lord can do whatever they like, to whomever they like, on a whim, with no control or consequences? Are rules and consequences only for the little people?

I’m not talking about them taking a dislike in you. I’m talking about you talking shit about the company or posting shit against laws or just plain offensive. If nobody can connect your profile to you/your company why should they care. If they can, it’s about them as well as it’s about you.
At least in my country they can’t just fire you without reason. If you are a - for example - racist piece of shit on the internet and it can be tracked back to your company then hell yeah, they should at least give you a warning if not set you free.
If one of my coworkers is making up shit on social media because they are angry about being expected to do their job, and as a result we lose contacts and have to fire a bunch of people, yeah I think that person should 100% get fired. Hyperbole cuts both ways.
you’re the only one talking about people making up shit
also your language (" because they are angry about being expected to do their job") gives away your agenda instantly and shows just how out of touch and/or brainwashed by corporate media you are.
Talk about bad faith lmfao…
I said it was hyperbole. What part of that comparison are you missing?
@VanillaGorilla
Company buys 8h of my time per day. They have no business *knowing*, not to mention having an opinion on what I do with the rest of it.

Don’t broadcast your feelings toward your boss or company on social media if you don’t want them knowing.
