Same.
The whole photograph looks like it has tweeked or taken with a strange lens.
I love it. More useful idiots need to be fired.
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.

An old boss use to refer to employees like this as apparently having “a license to loaf”.
Someone I used to know .... one of the hardest working men I’ve ever met, wore his service station uniform (name sewn on), would run out & greet customers ... what do you need? how can I help? He was the owner of the station & ran a tight ship. He hired a lot of young ‘men’ (high school age or just after) and they learned from him because he had posted in the cashier’s area this: The Golden Rule: He who has the gold, makes the rules.
Lawrence didn’t put up with people late to work, slackers, disrespectful, etc. The guys who worked for him came away better for the experience.
Lawrence was a wealthy man - a real estate developer among other things, but you would never know this. He chose to work at the service station until Parkinsons made him unable to do so. He died maybe a year ago after some years of lying in a bed (at home - no nursing facility) as he lost his ability to function physically. We took our old truck to the service station a couple of weeks ago & the mechanic who has been there for two decades was in the process of selling all the shop equipment - the property has been sold to a development group (corner property, couple of acres & valuable). I have driven by twice at night now and the dark, deserted old station/shop are so sad to see - been there since I was a kid. Nothing stays the same ... the one life lesson I’ve learned.
So back to the twat from Twitter - she obviously didn’t realize that The Boss (who definitely has ‘the gold’ ... and the power) can fire people who are disrespectful, publicly or otherwise, if they have the ‘nads to do it (many these days do not). What a shock! /s
Im just surprised she has a husband and not a wife.
Too bad for Bosworth, who will now have to eat store brand dog food and walk down leafless streets where there are no coffee shops.
My heart bleeds for the dog.
As for the arrogant thirty-something woman without a solid set of principles to live by, next time, lady, learn to defer to your boss, as we all have learned to do.
According to the article, something called GraphQL
Friend of mine was fired, because he refused to be vaccinated!
Life is tough, take it!
Well, dang, I couldn’t read the article.
However, it’s weird that people now think they should be able to badmouth the boss and battle with him publicly and also be able to keep their jobs.
I mean, a good boss values his employees’ opinions if they have something to do with work and add to the efficiency and money-making potential of the operation. But it’s not an obligation by any means.
Colleges are cranking out low-functioning nitwits. If you can do well at whatever you were taught in college, that’s great - it means the system’s working.
But even if/when a student manages to learn something and be able to apply it to obtain employment, we find that the same person can’t function well as a member of society.
Hey, I’m no daisy, all right? I never went to college but still had a lot of bad ideology I had to get out of my head before I had anything like a grip on reality. Still struggling.
I feel I have a halfway decent excuse in that by the time I started to function better as a member of society, the one-and-a-half generations that had occurred since I was college-age - who function much more poorly and are less likely to have any insight into same - were starting to have an impact on the business world, so my increased capabilities didn’t make much of a difference on my personal fortunes.
If you see people in this age group in a work scenario, they appear to be very happy, healthy, and high-functioning. That’s because most of the evidence of how effed-up they are is in the virtual world.
HER HUSBAND?!! HOW DARE THEY!
“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.”
Has anyone else ordered a “drip” coffee?
Who says “drip”?
The pretension is strong with this one....
A man in our small town (10,000) died about 15 years ago. Didn’t belong to clubs at all. Didn’t socialize ever. His will left enough money to build 5 schools in Michigan. You never know about people.
[[Wonder if she will learn this lesson?]]
Nope- which Is why she is whi ing about ehat happened to the public. She is playing the victim. She should learn that play8ng stupid games wins stupid prizes, but she seems not to have learned that yet
Maybe she was trying to distinguish her coffee order from coffee made with a French press, in which case, never mind...
It was- the lens has distorted th3 whole scene.
She criticized her boss publicly on his own platform and got fired.
And?
Folks get stuck in a fashion timewarp.
Her mad drip of boots, hair and graphic sweater are almost a retro ‘90s look.
Winona, a much better looking gal, may want her Shiite back.
Bet she didn’t read her employment contract carefully.
Or worse yet, she did and didn’t think it applied to her...
Sweetie, your employer wasn’t the problem, was he...
