This isn’t at all new. In training as a manager (> 7 years ago) and director even at a smaller company they made it clear my behavior in public may be associated with the company negatively and to be conscious of it. Maybe this guy didn’t get such training or wasn’t paying attention.
That said, I agree, he didn’t need to resign but he may have done so to avoid further negative attention to avoid a Streisand effect.
- sc68cal 3y agoSo, free speech unless it hurts your employer?
- codezero 3y agoFree speech is a protection relating to the government's ability to inhibit it, not a corporation's. Like, you can say what you want, unless that's also illegal (credible death threats, hate speech etc...) and the government won't stop you or imprison you, but no company is required to protect you or keep employing you based on that concept. There are other protections in place that limit corporations' ability to terminate you, just not relating to speech, at least in the US. I'm not sure how different the system in Ireland is.
