    Yesterday @JackSmithIV was accused of offenses explicitly described as existing in a "gray area," namely "emotional abuse, manipulation, and gaslighting." Within hours he was publicly disowned by his union and fired. I'm sorry, but there is something wrong with this process.

        The conduct of the union (@mic_union) is especially galling. Instantly they abandoned any pretense of member protection, and in less than 24 hours management took the cue and he was terminated. What was the point of joining in the first place?

        Then there's the question of whether Smith's "emotionally manipulative" conduct warranted a months-long, intensive investigation. He might be a total ass in his private affairs, but the key phrase there is "private affairs." Why does the entire internet need to scrutinize this?

        A minor online journalist's bad relationships don't rise to the level of national journalistic concern. He might be a genuinely bad person -- inflicting emotional harm on romantic partners is bad. But it's also extremely common. These new standards are not workable.

        I routinely complain about at-will employment. My complaint here is more directed at the union for publicly disowning a member mere hours after an article was published. That's the standard for jettisoning all protections?

        Maybe the problem is that things explicitly described as "emotional abuse, manipulation, and gaslighting" -- pretty bad shit! -- are a "gray area" to begin with.

        It was described that way in the article specifically to distinguish it from physical abuse, i.e. sexual assault/rape. Which seems reasonable.

        I agree Michael - I don't care what someone is accused of, if there isn't transparent due process under the law there can be no justice, no matter the crime or allegations. Anything else is a totalitarian state and no-one is safe.
