how long before this starts to happen at GFY?
http://www.businessinsider.com/adria...g-jokes-2013-3
Led To Two People Losing Their Jobs And A Huge Mess For The Tech World The world of tech was rattled this week when a quickly dashed off tweet alleging crude, sexist jokes resulted in two people losing their jobs. Earlier this week at the PyCon conference (the largest annual gathering for developers using the open-source Python programming language) a woman named Adria Richards overheard a joke between two men sitting behind her during a crowded presentation. Richards was offended and took a picture of the two men who were making jokes. She tweeted, "Not cool. Jokes about forking repo's in a sexual way and "big" dongles. Right behind me #pycon." She also attached a photo of the two people making the jokes. Richards worked for SendGrid, an email delivery company, as a developer evangelist. She had 10,000 followers. Because there are so few women in tech, accusations of sexist jokes can be damaging. Her tweet led to one of the people in the photo losing his job. Internet communities, Hacker News, Reddit, and even Anonymous all became involved in the situation, which resulted in a online discussion addressing the tension between the "freewheeling boys-will-be-boys atmosphere" that has traditionally existed in technology and a modern politically correct atmosphere. With all the attention, SendGrid found itself under attack, and it ended up firing Richards. In a statement, SendGrid said, "Effective immediately, SendGrid has terminated the employment of Adria Richards. While we generally are sensitive and confidential with respect to employee matters, the situation has taken on a public nature. We have taken action that we believe is in the overall best interests of SendGrid, its employees, and our customers. As we continue to process the vast amount of information, we will post something more comprehensive." We reached out to Richards for comment but have not heard back yet. She explained herself on her blog. Basically, she felt fed up after hearing their jokes and decided to do something about it. A person who says he's the guy who was fired left a comment on Hacker News on the situation, saying: As a result of the picture she took I was let go from my job today. Which sucks because I have 3 kids and I really liked that job. She gave me no warning, she smiled while she snapped the pic and sealed my fate. Let this serve as a message to everyone, our actions and words, big or small, can have a serious impact. |

I hope so! But most of them here don't have wife, kids or any income. So it wouldn't matter.

unless they were both useless and the employer was just waiting for an excuse to fire them, it seems pretty retarded to fire someone over stupid shit like that?

Stupid fucking idiot cow, she OVERHEARD a conversation and was so "offended" that she got a man fired. I hope she never works again, no-one should have to work with a snide back-stabber like her.

So she was eavesdropping on a private conversation between 2 people, not concentrating on the seminar she had been sent to... Sounds like she is the one with the issue and should have been fired.
I hope the two guys sue too, her and their employer for firing them. |

You listen to any group of women with their guard down and you hear as bad if not worse.
When I was nursing we had this guy who worked with us that was VERY well equipped - We wore scrubs as it was an infectious diseases unit and they don't hide a lot. They referred to him as 'Donkey Boy' even to his face. Its strange, he never complained once... |

There were just so many missteps on both sides... I think it would take a hell of a lot more to get anyone fired in the adult industry.

long way from when I was an iron work and one of the guys tossed a bolt off the structure, about 350 ft, the bolt went through the roof or a trailer hit the wall, glanced off and beaned a guy in the head... he was wearing his hard hat but it still knocked him cold... head... we were all pulled off the iron, told we would all be fired if we didn't rat the guy out.... after about 2 hours when no one would spill the beans they told us all to go back to work... the world isn't like that anymore... |

Here's her full story about the incident:
http://butyoureagirl.com/14015/forki...h-conferences/ Look at the comments against her at the bottom. Many have 4 digit up votes and 2 digit down votes. This bitch is toast. One of the comments points out this sexual harassing tweet that SHE made: https://twitter.com/adriarichards/st...65091791847425 |

She sounds entitled, can't take a joke, and has a grievance about being a black woman in a white male dominated field.

I was just reading her blog post. She has some pent-up anger. Most likely needs a solid fuck.

I'd like to think that us ladies here at GFY would have a bit thicker skin when it comes to sexually juvenile comments.
If not, then I'd at hope we'd have the balls to turn around at a conference and tell a pair of asshats to shut up. At the very least, photoshop a pic of a cock on their heads before tweeting their pictures to 9k followers. They may have gone overboard with their dongle and forking comments, but she crossed the line into batshit-crazy with her reaction. Glad she got sacked, too.
