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’d let my son hit it, then dump her.
I wouldnt recommnend using the business you work for to criticize the man you work for.
Now. Another aspect. The color scheme. Blue-Over-Yellow.
Political statement? Discuss amongst yourselves, FR. :0)
I’ll be the NYT never got upset when Conservative software engineers lost their jobs (got cancelled) under previous Twitter management. In fact, I’ll be they celebrated when that happened.
Excellent. She’s exactly the kind of trash Musk needed to take out. Glad he did so.
Yup, a 34-year old married woman (to a man shockingly) with a dog. A dog mom. No sign of any children as usual, and her fertility running out. She’s just going to be another voluntary evolutionary dead end.
Self entitled spoiled brat. Good luck getting another job.
"The boss isn't always right, but he is always the boss".
YOU NEVER PEE INTO THE COMPANY SOUP
It will be very interesting to see how many of the Twitter idiots ever have another employer after Musk exposes their behavior
NO WORK ETHIC=====
PARTICIPATION TROPHIES FOR OVER MANY YEARS
Yes, Bari was let go for less. I think all she did was question why they were not letting people speak their mind and the cancel culture mob came out.
She isn't sure why she lost her job. Life should be a learning experience. In the case of Solomon, it isn't. I feel sorry for her dog.
The NYT edifice is literally the entrance to hell.
All of the worlds problems would be eliminated if Putin would just drop the Tsar Bomba on those coordinates /spit.
Cussed out the new owner in public and lost her job? How bizarre /s
Notice NYT didn't quote the tweet that had two expletives.
NOT without a heavy pre-dose of antibiotics——

I wish we had a “like” button. ☺️☕️
GOOD-—We do NOT need more of her kind.
