But, why was this person apart of Genocide Co. in the first place? It sucks that they got fired for posting something based, but they got fired from fucking Microsoft. Fucking Microsoft. And, they also talk about building / leading(?) the DEI Department, which would be (arguably) engaging in pinkwashing for Microsoft.
Fuck Microsoft, but this person also decided to work at Microsoft, so… I don’t know, what’s the Hexbear party line on “working for huge corporations actively abetting genocide, even if you do questionably good (DEI) work”? I’m pretty sure it’s “fuck you” but I wanna be sure.
A company doing standard capitalism and protecting its profit margins by firing someone who could drive away customers is what the libertarians would call “voting with your wallet” and I don’t see him being aware enough to blame capitalism. Probably because capitalism is absolutely fine while you’re working and get paychecks from one of the main arms of the surveillance-industrial complex that abets genocides among a ton of other shit.
He’s a worker however, I seriously feel for him but complaining on bluesky and threads about it instead of unionizing is exactly the thing that keeps us all in the gutter.
Yeah, on one hand,

I don’t think this matters enough to form a line on tbh
