“Their behavior was unacceptable, extremely disruptive, and made co-workers feel threatened.”
If holding up posters is “defacing property” and you feel “threatened” by a sit in, you might be on the wrong side of history (and/or a Vault-Tec employee).
Does the US still have a Fortune 500-wide hiring blacklist for those who publicly criticise Israeli military operations? If so, they may have a hard time finding other employment.
I was just about to ask if anybody else had been “advised” through the usual social back channels to not consider hiring anyone on that list. I got a couple of messages last night from folks I used to work for about that.
Can you elaborate on this? Who maintains the list and how does one end up on it?
It’s not an actual list. There’s no GDoc that gets shared around or anything. People talk to people. Folks who used to work together who kept in touch sometimes give each other “a friendly heads-up - that guy at the protest? He’s getting fired. Don’t hire him.” Then e-mails to recruiting addresses get deleted or a resume’ gets dumped in the recycling bin, and that’s that.
It’s the same back channels on LinkedIn and Skype chat groups (yes, they’re still a thing) that are used to organize parties at RSA and shit like that.
Why not blow the whistle on that?
