  1. When they start gaslighting you with "how you feel," and "I understand your frustration," then I'm ready to go, "no no no, you don't understand, I am not fired. I quit."

  3. You mean the bosses who didn't even meet her in person?

  4. At-will. They can tell you on Friday not to come Monday and escort you out.

  5. This is a "meeting?"

  6. How is trans even an issue in a typical workplace? Are you a therapist, a social worker, a high school teacher, a personal trainer? Do auto workers or electricians or roofers or construction workers have to worry about this now???

  7. @ashleyjohansson230  Oh my goodness are you behind the times. That may have been true back in 2014, though I doubt it. It may even have been true in 2019. Today? Whoa.

  8. @petergonzalez1719  I was just sense oared for mentioning three stories banned from social media that turned out to be true. Guess which ones? One of them resulted in Intercept-founder Glenn Greenwald having to quit that journal on principle, when they sense oared him. Another had something to do with 2021 and begins with the letter before w.

  9. Sure. A warning is standard in many fields and has been for decades. They get performance reviews that flag their problems long before they are canned.

  10. @mikec3971  Most people are not at either extreme, are they? And suppose she were abysmal? This is just one job. So what? That was precisely my point: their approach made it sound as though she had something wrong with her. Vague does not mean neutral or objective: on the contrary, it lends itself to drawing worse implications than a straightforward approach. Sorry, I don't go for Newspeak. Find better scriptwriters.

  11. She should go into law.

  12. @RyanKearney0  Fired "for cause" (which basically means underperformance) will not get you on unemployment benefits in any state I know.

  13.  @julesk1567  WHAT is? lol

  14.  @ProclaimedHERETIC  I don't either, but RyanK wasn't entirely wrong. He did have a point.

  15. @ashleyjohansson230  It also happens all the time that solid information or reasoned (and reasonable) opinion is tossed. In fact, ranting and raving are more likely to stay up than well-reasoned arguments. Ranting usually can't be deemed factually false, but well-supported positions can.

  18. @mikec3971  Shouldn't people be more candid? Even these HR people are following the feewees script, which is demeaning in the extreme, and makes it appear as though there is something wrong with her as a person. This is really low. "We have expectation X. Your performance < X." See how much more respectful that is? But they had no numbers. So they talked about how she feels, how she's frustrated, and so forth. Odious.

  19.  @JBuer  She may or may not have had a quota during her three-month probationary period. She asked for numbers. HR talked about feelings. (Makes me think she didn't have a quota, huh? Possibly?)

  20.  @mikec3971  Then they can SAY that. "I'm sorry, but it is not our policy to go into details because that could amount to divulging confidential matters about other people's performance. You can appreciate why we shouldn't broach that subject."

  21. Or, she could go into law or journalism. Or she should cower. She should quietly slink away, because some Big People won't Like It if she Asks Questions.

  27. You will never be a lawyer . . . But you will need one, or someone with that kind of spirit.

  28. @RyanKearney0  On the other hand, she could argue that she was actively misled into believing her work was satisfactory. A hearing officer could side with her, so you are right about that. There is also constructive discharge. If your boss is abusive, you don't have to stay and take it in order to obtain unemployment compensation. These are fine points. The general rule is that if you are fired for cause, that means no benefits. Then there is the problem of short tenure. If she has not worked, say, 10 of the last 12 months, or 12 of the last 15, etc., (depends on the state), she can't qualify for unemployment benefits anyway.

  29.  @ProclaimedHERETIC  What I said.

  30. The video said nothing different. She knew it was coming in just enough time to record it. The fact that a CEO would even acknowledge it is funny, and no credit to him.

  31.  @jolseywales  Why not let people know?

  32.  @jolseywales  Ask her that. Do we only display reflexes that result in instant cash in our pockets? Is that it?

  33.  @jondunmore4268  Except that she's not a miffed customer over some trivial nonsense that no normal person notices.

  37. So, maybe a candid performance review after 3 months should have been done? I didn't hear that she got no contracts. I heard that one fell through.

  38. So an honest performance in December or prior would have been wise, huh? Seems like it. 🤔

  39. @ashleyjohansson230  Banned "for a reason," like the people who stated something true about the pandemic or Hunter Biden or Palestine? Glenn Greenwald had to leave The Intercept -- the Internet journal he founded -- because they censored him concerning Hunter. And mRNA does travel around the body.

  40. Unless she goes into, say, employment and labor law.

  41. Why?

  42.  @blnunya6689  Building a relationship and closing a particular contract are two different things. But unless you are your own boss, you don't get a vote as to what is more important when dealing with a client.

  43. I think she should go into law.

  44. You should have the opportunity to resign as well.

  45. Depends on the job. Some jobs require people who are not meek. Quite a few do, actually.

  47. So . . . Maybe a candid performance review around November 25 would have been a really great idea, huh?
