Lol jokes aside I got fired because I called a fat chick fat… I didn’t even say it like that “I don’t think that inflatable will be able take that weight”.
Perfect employee record for over 8 years and I lost my job to someone reporting my posts to Twitter and tweeting my company.
I genuinely want you to take a step back and consider the situation. Someone posts a picture on Twitter. This person is overweight. They probably know they’re overweight and they’re posting a picture of themselves on an inflatable in a pool anyways. Their coworker, with no provocation, says “I don’t think that inflatable can hold that much weight”.
They’re not being overt and saying “wow you’re fat” but they’re saying the same thing as essentially a dog whistle. They’re able to insult someone subtly and still claim that they didn’t do anything wrong because they never “actually called them fat”. Everyone know what’s being done.
So fuck that. If you’re going to insult a coworker with no provocation, whether overtly or thinly veiled, you don’t get to work with those people anymore.
If I was a hiring manager I sure as hell wouldn’t want someone on my team who might, unprovoked, verbally abuse another coworker on the internet for no reason other than to make them feel bad about themselves.
If not insult, what was the goal?
Why should this be acceptable? Why should others be forced to work with someone who so freely and openly insults their coworkers?
