If you're calling for someone to lose their job because they lost their temper in public, maybe think about the worst 5 times you lost your temper in public & how they would have looked on short video clips taken out of context.

I've never called the police to tell them a false account of threat of bodily harm and emphasizing a person's race so it's difficult for me to get in that headspace.

If you had video of the 5 worst times Geoffrey lost his temper in public maybe one would be audible with a normal microphone (the time he yelled at a woman who was speeding close to his daughter) and the rest would be unremarkable. He is unrelentingly agreeable.

People need to think about their actions, but this cancel culture where people lose their jobs over something 100% not work related is getting ridiculous.

Your question is a telling one. Losing your temper in public is a luxury that not everyone gets to enjoy. Some people can't afford to risk that. That is the point.

Factually they don’t because people dont follow the advice here but that doesn’t mean they *should* lose their job for that. Obviously, it depends on the context but the general idea that we should try to be more forgiving seems appropriate.
