Fistful, how should nintendo have handled it?
I don't know. It's a tough situation and I'm not claiming to have the answer. That doesn't mean I can't be critical about it.
When I look at what happened and I see an outcome where more women in the industry have to fear for their jobs I don't see that as a positive outcome.
This just in, men have to fear for their jobs too.
I'm gonna jump in right here and call that a cop-out. Yes, men have to "fear for their jobs, too!" But, but, BUT!(!!!) men don't have the angry internet hoards calling for their heads based on one little post or comment on Twitter. You throw in programming or the game industries "old boys club" mentality of sexist comments about a womans looks/boobs and you can see why some folks like Fistful think Nintendo's firing is a bit a knee-jerk.
I don't agree with him on this case and agree with you on Nintendo being in the right on dumping her as quickly as possible especially given the stuff coming to light about her. However, that doesn't make Fistful's point moot: There
is a problem for women in the industry/tech jobs where this sort of harassment is a common practice (just see Anita Sarseken or however you spell her names Twitter @replies for exhibit A. I don't agree with her and find some of her nitpicks stupid because she doesn't "get" the point she's nitpicking or blowing it out of proportion, but I don't sit there and @reply her death threats or shit like that. That's what those mobs do) to where "fear for their jobs/lives" becomes a daily practice. It sucks. If you can't see that, I dunno what to tell you man. It's not even a conservative/liberal logic: It's just straight up humanity. Live and let live, you know?
I heard that they usually don't give a reason for firings, yet they did with her. Could be seen as further validation for Gators.
How exactly do you get fired with no explanation? Please explain where this practice is utilized. Thx
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employmentI don't know if Washington is an At-will state, but if it is: They don't even have to give her a reason. They just have to say "hey, pack your shit up. You're done. Don't come back."
