Sasha Solomon, a software engineer, joined others in the media business who lost their jobs this year after publicly taking on their employers.
In the middle of a workday, Sasha Solomon, a 34-year-old software engineer in Portland, Ore., put her French bulldog, Bosworth, on a leash and walked down a leafy street to a favorite coffee shop.
It seemed like an ordinary November afternoon, or as ordinary as it could be for someone working at Twitter under its mercurial new owner, Elon Musk. Ms. Solomon ordered a latte for herself and a drip coffee with cream for her husband. Then she and Bosworth headed back home.
Sitting at her computer on her living room couch, she tried to check the latest messages on Slack, only to find her account was locked. She then pulled up her work email account, or tried to. Also locked. She logged onto her personal email account and saw something in her inbox from a human resources executive at Twitter.
“Your recent behavior has violated company policy,” the email said, according to Ms. Solomon. She turned to her husband and said, as she recalled in a recent interview, “I guess I don’t work here anymore.”
With that, Ms. Solomon had become part of a small number of media industry employees who lost their jobs this year after using Twitter to take on the institutions where they worked. In Ms. Solomon’s case, she directly challenged her boss in a series of tweets. She said she is not sure whether those tweets caused her to lose her job, or if she was just one of the roughly 3,700 Twitter employees who got the ax in layoffs that began soon after Mr. Musk took ownership of the company in October.

I can only imagine the “code” of this ‘software engineer’.
And, of course, the NYT - the newspaper of clowns - requires a special type of naivety in order to read the rag.
“In the middle of the workday”.
The shape of her head, is weird.
Yeah, it’s usually not a good idea to bad-mouth your boss in public. And yes, Twit-Er is very, very public.
Been noticing in the last few weeks.
Media has been showing ‘cute’ video clips like they’ve been doing for years and years. Only in the last month have they stopped showing Twitter clips. Replaced them with TikTok clips.
You tell me.
That doesn't seem like a very smart thing to do to the guy who signs your paycheck.
“Sasha Solomon, a 34-year-old software engineer in Portland, Ore., put her French bulldog, Bosworth, on a leash and walked down a leafy street to a favorite coffee shop”
Boy, talk about perpetuating a stereotype......sheesh.
Maybe she shoulda been working IN AN OFFICE instead of hanging out in a coffee shop.
No work ethic by our youth may end up being a major contributing factor in the collapse of this country. SMH
arrogant little b...... she loves the limelight...
You have the right to free speech, but if you publicly badmouth your employer, or champion a cause counter to the employer’s policies, expect blowback.
Which is why I will say things here that I will not say on my LinkedIn account.
“That doesn’t seem like a very smart thing to do to the guy who signs your paycheck”
Entitlement mentality:
The entitlement mentality is defined as a sense of deservingness or being owed a favor when little or nothing has been done to deserve special treatment. It’s the “you owe me” attitude. Entitlement is a narcissistic personality trait”
She got a very important life lesson.....question os, is she smart enough to realize and embrace it.......my money’s on no.

Where do these dumbasses get off on thinking you can challenge or bad mouth your boss with zero consequences?
Bari Weiss got shown the door at NYT for less, didn’t she?
Congrats on discovering the meaning of F.A.F.O.
A crying shame, entitled millennial loses job for bad mouthing the boss.
Try doing that again at your next job selling shoes at Kohls - you will get fired there too.
I feel sorry for the French bulldog having to live with a creep like her.
These young people never learned rule #1...
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you
“The Boss is always right.”
Wonder if she will learn this lesson?
Because Tic Toc is Communist Red China -SeeEyeHay controlled, as opposed to FIB’s Twitter.
I had to Google that one.
Aw! Poor baby! She dun found out how the real world works. Boo-hoo!
You mean you can’t publicly call out and attack your boss, then not stay employed them!?
