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.

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.

She retweeted Mr. Musk’s post referring to the “poorly batched RPCs” and added a comment of her own, in which she addressed him directly: “you did not just layoff almost all of infra and then make some sassy remark about how we do batching,” Ms. Solomon wrote. “Like did you bother to even learn how graphql works.”

Three minutes later, she added a second tweet that included two expletives. In it, she told Mr. Musk that he had no right to criticize the people in charge of Twitter’s infrastructure “while you’re also scrambling to rehire folks you laid off.”

“It was a little impulsive,” she said.

The tweets got a lot of traction, with thousands of likes and retweets, putting Ms. Solomon in danger of becoming the main character of the day on Twitter. The next day she found herself locked out of her work email and Slack account

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.

Interesting that she recognizes another possibility. But, she might know the truth but wants to give a spin on it.

“...Ms. Solomon had become part of a small number of media industry employees who lost their jobs this year...”

Best. Economy. Ever. EVER! Brandon told us so!

By all means, let’s concentrate on the lamentations of these ‘small number’ of Twits who lost their jobs by biting the hand that fed them.

I mean, there’s nothing else of interest going on in the whole wide world, is there?

Losers.

Tip : “...to take on the institutions where they worked.” That’s not a bright idea, snowflake. It might get you fired.

“When Ms. Solomon was growing up outside Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, she never imagined she would end up working at a marquee company, much less tangling with a multibillionaire”

shocker: the multi-billionaire won ...

“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.”

a lot like the ones NYT itself fired simply for not following in lockstep their requirement to parrot hard leftist/fascist/propaganda/lies

Hopefully New York Times bimbos and pretentious 'men' will be losing their jobs soon too.

Face it - newspapers don't have the staff to get the stuff to 'find' the stories to support only democrats. I'm guessing corrupt 'intelligence' thugs are feeding them the same kind of crap they fed Twitter lived on. Is the CIA also paying them off for 'good hit stories against conservative Americans' and "great placement"? That's against the law, bimbo.

We all pay for 'intelligence to be collected for the protection of all of us'. It's not suppose to be a way to pay off corrupt 'teacher's' pets' in the news industry.

How would YOU feel Katherine Rosman of the New York Times if all the people in New York City paid taxes for police protection but only city employees were protected? It's the same sweetie.

Think about going into an honest profession Katherine Rosman.

Doesn't sound like she was "working" at a job. Just a "work from home" layer of corporate fat.

In Ms. Solomon’s case, she directly challenged her boss in a series of tweets.

When I was young, employees who wanted to keep their jobs generally went along with whatever the boss wanted. "Directly challenging your boss" was a normal way of getting fired.

I guess today's snowflakes don't understand the word "boss."

These people expect to call out their employer publicly and expect nothing to happen?

Are they all mad?
