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.
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.
it’s bullshit that that’s what got her job pulled tho.
Not really. She’s a cunt with main character syndrome. I wouldn’t hire her either.
Pot calling the kettle black right here.
Lmao you know me so well, random internet psychologist.
And you, too, know the person in the original tweet, random internet CEO

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