Topic	Furry fired from NASA internship after twitter rant celebrating NASA internship.
darkknight109 08/21/18 6:38:40 PM #36:	streamofthesky posted... But when she fires back that she works at NASA, so suck her [male genitals] (ok...) then that was going too far. Just a really fucking stupid thing to do. Sure it's stupid. I said as much in my post. She was also ridiculously excited that she got her dream job and was speaking in language that's very normal on Twitter. Again, not a fireable offence in my books - an opportunity to have a discussion with HR about "appropriate social media conduct", but not worth terminating an otherwise-valuable employee. Speaking of which: streamofthesky posted... Plus NASA is a dream job and internships are probably quite competitive. I'd rather some non- dumb ass who barely didn't make the cut got that opportunity instead. You know this person based on two Twitter posts they made, whereas the person whom they insulted flat-out said that she's an excellent candidate who deserves the position. It's ridiculously over-the-top to assume this person is a "dumb ass" given how little you know about them (and particularly given that they got accepted to NASA in the first place). By the way, you were in favour of this person losing their job because they insulted someone online and you just insulted someone online. That sensation you're feeling is called "cognitive dissonance"... Zeus posted... It's an internship. Pissing somebody off is a perfectly valid reason for having it canceled. Not really...? Given that NASA is trying to attract the best-of-the-best, why on Earth would you discard an otherwise capable candidate for something that petty? Again, it's not like she went on some racist tear or something; she was excited and she expressed that excitement in a crass remark. And it's worth noting that her firing wasn't even orchestrated by the person she was talking to and that when he found out, he got her her job back. That should immediately highlight that this was an overreaction to a relatively minor breach of protocol. This woman was admonished and presumably will mind her words a bit more on social media in the future, but will otherwise keep her job. That's exactly what should have happened in the first place. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.
