Cancellation is anti-worker. Employees should start demanding 90-day cooldown periods in contracts such that they can’t be precipitously fired due to passing social media storms. Sometimes it’s a real issue. If so, it will still be real in 90 days. Let cooler heads prevail.https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1204591795872636928 …

Balaji Srinivasan Retweeted Yascha Mounk
Thinking of episodes like this one, where a guy got fired for cracking his knuckles. In this case, his side of the story got written up. Most won’t be so lucky. Better to have standard contractual guarantees against precipitous dismissal. https://twitter.com/yascha_mounk/status/1273271397956100098?s=21 …https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1273271397956100098 …

Yascha MounkVerified account @Yascha_MounkHi@SDGE, Firing a Mexican-American employee for cracking his knuckles does nothing to combat racism; in fact, it sacrifices the actual cause of fighting bigotry in an amateurish attempt to avoid bad press. Give the man his job back now. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/sdge-worker-fired-over-alleged-racist-gesture-says-he-was-cracking-knuckles/2347414/?amp&__twitter_impression=true …Show this thread7 replies 32 retweets 183 likesShow this thread
Replying to @balajis
If "firing a Mexican-American employee for cracking his knuckles" isn't clear enough: we are in the midst of a moral panic.
