Still swearing though lol. Wasn't that what got her fired lmfao
No, I think it was mostly telling the Space Council member to suck their member.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
Yeah, that's the joke. Well spotted super sleuth.
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.
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?
there's nothing wrong with swearing
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.
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.
