did the author shot gun the manifesto or just send it to a few colleagues?

How did it spread so far?

The difference is that one is a few people discussing a thought bubble (good for everyone) the other is inappropriate use of company facilities (not good for everyone or the company).

the first one is not in itself sack-able... but the other may very well be a sack-able offence.




The author was trapped. He shared the document to the "skeptics" internal group asking for feedback. He didn't realize that the skeptics group had been infected by SJWs for years. They swarmed him. It was like dropping a steak in a shark tank.

Sounds like a company sponsored honey pot, even more ammo for an unfair dismissal lawsuit.


yeah ok, this is not really the fault of the author then.

sharing idea's on a small scale is good for everyone, sharing controversial or reprehensible is inadvisable but forgivable.

Those that went public with it, or spread it in outrage need a damned good talking to at least.

but really, I'd say the guy has learned a lot.... it may even make him a better person, isn't that everyone's desire?
