The language she's using is awful, and she is evoking NASA in them, but I don't want to see her fired for this. If this happened off work and off hours - the company should not fire hire. Unfortunately, the American Thought Police has grown accustomed to firing people for racism and this will bleed into other areas. I think what someone does off company hours should be left alone.
This person had a chance at a future. Maybe Homer will go to bat for them and get them a 2nd chance. I would if I believed it was just a one time deal.
Person lands an internship at NASA. Announces this to Twitter via profanity laced tweet. Receives one word reply from Homer Hickam, formerly of NASA, now with the National Space Council, which has oversight of NASA saying "language". Person responds to Hickam's tweet with even worse profanity laced reply, and loses the internship. Hickam was not responsible for the lost internship.
The comments on the article are insane. Most are deflection based on "what about Trump", which has absolutely zero to do with the issue at hand. Others rail about free speech. Freedom of speech does mean freedom from consequence. Shockingly, even when members of the recent college graduate generation make well reasoned comments explaining that there are consequences for cursing out leadership at your potential new employer, others pile on in support of the fired intern.
What’s changed is the increased opportunity to be heard ( via social media).
Only thing any of us really control is our own reaction.
Many people of all ages do not appear to have adequate emotional maturity to envision potential consequences associated with their posts to social media.
It does seem that way.
