I hope she sues them for wrongful termination.
At-will employment means just that. . .
This only turns around if the sane people, who are clearly still the majority, make a bigger stink on Twitter and elsewhere when this bullshit happens. Time to stop the madness.
Hooboy. "Triggered" indeed.
Not everyone grows up like that. Kids and teens are still putting out shit they will regret in 7+ years. We were aware by then, but that doesn't mean she was. If she was, then she would have been less stupid with how she went about things.
Again, I'm saying there's more than 2 possible outcomes to this, and they all aim for outcomes that make everyone happy. One that comes to mind is having a meeting with the employee and seeing if some resolution can be made. Do we know if she was willing to apologise or explain? Was she given any opportunity at all to do so?
I don't know exactly how things were set up, but I'm guessing she was doing her work tweets from an/the LRG account. If she wasn't, that's as much on them as it is her.
Let's be honest here. Even if she was smart enough to not advertise on her personal account that she was the CM for LRG, we've all seen internet detectives track down people's work and email their bosses. All she did was make it easier.
Was there an attempt by the offended party to engage and discuss before he or she decided to play judge, jury, and executioner? I've seen no reason to think so.
Again, LRG we're obviously within their rights to do so, but it should have been the last resort on a list of attempts to resolve a suspected problem. Not a currently active one, not a confirmed one, but a suspected one.
Edit: to clarify, I'm not by any means assuming she wasn't what the gathered evidence suggests. But to me it seems like a very quick turnaround that threw her under the bus at the first sign of a problem instead of trying to move forward.
A slogan that started off vague and has been overused to the point that it lost any meaning or poignancy it was intended it to have, which is a shame because I know what they were going for with it
Yeah. Still not buying it. Forget I said anything about age. Focus on the fact that she is a social media representative for a company in the PRESENT and has social media experience from her streaming days: she knows how all this works. And she still went out there, on her public, personal account that is attached to her professional life, and decided to - in this climate - step into the minefield that is "Hogwarts Legacy."
. . .and not for nothing, but this has nothing to do with her ACTUALLY being a transphobe (I don't believe she is; or at least her digital profile doesn't say she is in any meaningful way) and instead being not at all good with social media. Which again, is her job.
The real lesson here is this: if you want to say what you want relatively consequence free on the internet, don't get a job where you can terminated for any cause. This isn't France and we're not nobility.
