“a Unity exec just shared that they rent a secondary apt in SF to make it easier to be in the office- maybe we should all just do this to make it easier to RTO? This company has lost it. Completely out of touch.
Renting an apt in SF would cost me over half my gross mothly salary :( Probably 3/4 of my takehome at least”
I agree with the substance but I don’t agree with airing dirty laundry on Twitter.
I’m not an exec but I’ve said things at work I regret. I’m sure many of us have. You just say a stupid thing here or there sometimes. It seems destructive to bring that all out publicly on Twitter.
As someone who doesn't use social media this behavior is just baffling to me. Does this woman not have real life friends who she can bitch about work with? Why are people self sabotaging like this?
On one hand people definitely will shoot themselves in the foot by oversharing on social media.
Another trend I've been seeing (speaking a general sense, I know no knowledge of this particular case) is that people who have been laid off will pull a stunt like this to try to 'go viral' and get a job. I have no idea if it works or the wisdom of it, but I've seen about a half dozen people in my network who I know were laid off in a general and impersonal layoff post sob stories about being fired by an unreasonable and mean boss.
We also fired a guy who posted about being laid off from our company, despite our company not going layoffs. Legal had to send him a little reminder about the terms he signed when we offered severance and that falsely the company feels claiming the company is doing layoffs is damaging to the company.
Overall I feel like I have become aware of more people trying to position their termination in ways that aren't truthful but they feel are more advantageous for generating interest from future employers.
She named the person that made the comment in the replies. Dragging a specific coworker through the mud publicly on Twitter is probably not the best move.
They're out of touch for thinking that tweeting this out wouldn't have consequences. Regardless of the validity of the criticism, publicly attacking your own employer is a stupid move if you want to stay there. I cannot sympathize
People should freely be able to have opinions on Twitter, Youtube, TikTok, CBS News, etc. and those opinions should not get them fired from their jobs just because some exec or some vocal group disagrees... as long as they're not representing the company. "I work for Pepsi and think the President is "..." for example.
On the other hand, unless it's whistleblowing, badmouthing your company to a broadcast audience when you don't have the imprimatur to do it, will most likely have consequences. Broadcast communications are the purview of The PR dept. This is for the PR dept to handle. You can opine it with your friends, family, etc. but not to a broad audience like that, unless you are considering the consequences.
Interesting that this thread doesn't show up on the front page?
