why aren’t you allowed to complain about your job on the national posting site

No one stopped her from complaining

HikingVet ,

They weren’t complaining.

kitonthenet ,

it's bullshit that that's what got her job pulled tho.

thrawn ,

The person she told that to, Homer Hickam, had no say in the firing, expressed disappointment after, and helped her get another job after (though I do not recall if it was successful). In an era where companies are increasingly sensitive about what employees post online, she had it much much better than just about anyone else in the world fired for the same thing at least.

And really… perhaps I’m old fashioned, but posting stuff like that in the same tweet as your NASA offer was pretty poorly thought out. NASA doesn’t feel like the type of organization that wants its employees associated with messaging like that.

_number8_ ,

i mean so? it’s on an anonymous twitter account; it could easily be some random loon. they didn’t have to track her down

rog ,

They obviously knew her twitter prior to offering the job and were actively monitoring it. The NASA guy doesnt just go around telling people to watch their language in tweets. They were keeping an eye on them, and they fucked up.

007v2 ,

Right, it clearly wasn’t anonymous if someone knew who she was to fire here. That previous comment wasn’t thought through lol

Melody ,

While I’m usually all for that sort of consequence to happen to someone who is legitimately being gross or creepy; I don’t think they should’ve actually fired her. Legitimately it should’ve been a stern warning and a request to apologize for the statement at worst.

Do I think it was a good idea to tweet it? Of course not. Was it unprofessional? Probably. I guess it depends on if the tweet or statement was made IRL or on Twitter via an alternate account.

Yeah if they work for NASA we should be able to presume they are intelligent enough to know not to do this.

ReakDuck ,

Intelligence is not really one thing. Even if the person was very intellegent, emotions play a high role in behaviour too

visak ,

And it was positive emotion. It was joy for getting the job and the “suck my dick” comment I read as “let me have this”. And I’m an old dude.

Was it professional or a wise idea? No, but it’d like an astronaut on their first space walk saying “Holy fuck this is amazing.”

kitonthenet ,

just about anyone else in the world fired for the same thing at least.

yes thank u that's the thing I think is bullshit

@tox_solid@lemmy.world avatar

Not really. She’s a cunt with main character syndrome. I wouldn’t hire her either.

UnverifiedAPK ,

I wouldn’t hire her either.

main character syndrome

Pot calling the kettle black right here.

Lmao you know me so well, random internet psychologist.

Nythos ,

And you, too, know the person in the original tweet, random internet CEO

Stuka ,

Can i be a random internet firefighter?

feedum_sneedson ,

dick and balls

@Astrealix@lemmy.world avatar

Still swearing though lol. Wasn’t that what got her fired lmfao

KindredFlare ,

No, I think it was mostly telling the Space Council member to suck their member.

007v2 ,

Right some folks in here pretending they were fired for saying fuck when actually they were fired for saying “suck my dick, I work at nasa” to an important member of the space network lol

DragonTypeWyvern ,

She got fired because the brain rotted boomers aren’t all dead yet.

In another ten years you’ll be able to be harmlessly excited on the Internet without losing your job.

007v2 ,

You won’t be able to talk say shit like that to your boss (or people in your company) no matter what generation they came from so I’m not really sure what you are talking about. This isn’t a case of someone being excited and getting in trouble for cussing. Would you want people working for you that acted that way towards you?

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Suck my dick you bootlicking loser, it was a tweet only a dumbass would take seriously and was clearly not meant as insubordination. A reasonable, non-senile person would just remind the new hire of the organizational standards.

007v2 ,

Touch a nerve? The funny thing is that is exactly what the member of the organization did and the person responded back suck their dick and balls. So they were warned of their actions, and then followed it up by doubling down. Hope I didn’t ruin your day, you seemed to really take this to heart. It’s no big deal, take a walk and calm down.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Yeah, that’s the joke. Well spotted super sleuth.

BackStabbath ,

I think it would just generally be stupid to say that. Boomers or no boomers. It sort of reflects badly on the organisation and I’m not even slightly suprised that they wouldn’t be pleased about it. You seem weirdly angry.

    What is wrong with you? Do you behave like this in your real life? What does this have to do with libs?

    Fine, nvm. You’re just not a very pleasant person. I do know what a lib is, it’s just that a weird stereotype that all of them are over-sensitive is not really accurate.

    GentlemanLoser ,

    Homer Hickam is a fairly famous name in NASA history. She didn’t just tell a Space Council member to suck her dick and balls. The film October Sky is about his life growing up as the son of a coal miner and pushing past his dad’s disdain for highfalutin rocket engineering. Jake Gyllenhaal plays Homer Hickam. It’s pretty good. So what are you up today?

    _number8_ ,

    there’s nothing wrong with swearing

    Astrealix ,
    @Astrealix@lemmy.world avatar

    There ain’t, but he said “language” because NASA had like some kinda code of conduct for that kinda communications online and she broke it iirc by swearing — and then by calling one of the biggest names in NASA to suck her dick and balls, even though he didn’t want her to lose her job over it.

    rog ,

    Absolutely not. A company gets to choose who it hires and fires though, and if you act in a way contrary to their rationale then they have no obligation to keep you around.

    There’s nothing wrong with getting an explicit photorealistic tattoo of a vulva on your forehead either, but your boss at the childcare centre might not like it and you’ll probably lose your job.

    Was this the same furry who got a job at NASA? If I recall, the guy who actually got the “suck my dick i’m working for nasa” comment actually tried to get her the job back.

    adj16 ,

    Looks like it

    FiskFisk33 ,

    …ouch

    HerrLewakaas ,

    The handle is different

    adj16 , (edited )

    But it’s the same first name and last initial. I imagine she had to get rid of the old handle after…the incident

    metallic_z3r0 ,

    It makes sense that it would be, even if it’s the same person, I’d want plausible deniability after that too.

    elxeno ,

    Elon took the other one.
