If all she did was complain about these “jokes” and text the pic, then I don’t see how she did anything wrong.

One of the guys (with 3 children) was fired...and she was fired, too. Good! Another hothouse flower who says she wants to be treated equally, but really wants to drag everyone else down to the level of her miserable, whiny existence.

if they have the right to make off color jokes that others might not like, others have a right to say they do not like it. even on Twitter.

"The article says that it was the woman, Adrian Richards, who got fired."
One of the two guys who were joking with each other got fired too.
To: beelzepug
If the comments were not directed at her, she should either have said something, or found another seat.
Not only that, but she only has a picture. That’s her evidence of offensive speech? WTF...

There was so much negative reaction against her employer, that
SendGrid fired her.
Unless men fight back against the perpetually offended, we will be enslaved by them.

Someone who gets upset about those kinds of jokes really has no business being at a conference full of computer nerds. When in Rome...
To: Red Badger
seriously, why would any of them be fired?

At the same time the country is becoming more libertine than a Roman orgy we are becoming more prissy than a doily in Cotton Mathers parlor. I like the way you put that!

“Be very careful what you say, anymore.”
And remember, when the PC chekists come after you NEVER APOLOGIZE!!! They are NOT Christians and they will NOT forgive you! They will use your well-intentioned apology as an ADMISSION OF GUILT and they’ll use it to destroy you!
When these people come after you the best way to shut them down is to go on the offensive and involve a lawyer immediately.

One of the perpetually offended. You can just tell she walks around with a major chip on her shoulder all day.

She had as much right to complain about the jokes as they have to make them.
