That's why you don't put your real name on social media or talk about the company you work for. As soon as you start doing those things, you're representing that company publicly and they will get rid of you if you're making them look bad.

this is not that tho. and it's not a civilized way of fixing the issue. you could take it out of her pay, have some coercive action and see what happens. if she continues then you fire her. because she's clearly retarded and won't stop.
they way it's been handled allows for no fucking mistakes, which in turn translates to people going along with horrible putrid foul shit just to make sure they get a chance or don't fuck things up.

She was only just hired. Every job I've ever had involved some probationary period (usually 90 or 120 days, sometimes as long as 6-12 months) wherein an employee is subject to much higher scrutiny. If someone you just hired fucks up badly, it's much easier to just let them go and try again. It's not until you've been with a company for a while that you get treated with the benefit of the doubt because you're much harder to replace at that point. But someone who was just hired yesterday that you've invested barely any time or money into training is very easy to let go, and she was probably just replaced by the next in line candidate so they wouldn't even have to redo the interview process or anything like that.

tl;dr - If a new hire is a dumb cunt you can just send her home and take the next candidate in line who isn't a dumb cunt. Far less risk involved compared to giving second chances.

Twice. He responded to her first tweet and asked her to watch her language. She could have clicked on his profile, seen who he was, apologized, and moved on. Instead she escalated it further by telling him to suck her dick. Do you really want someone who responds to criticism with instant, unthinking, disproportionate escalation working for you?

nah, it would have been really retarded if she continued after finding out who he was. that whole "language" bullshit is fully on fucking him and his small fucking petty world. the internet is not his fucking lab.
he could have introduced himself without expecting people to magically check who he is. "hello I'm so and so from NASA and we don't tolerate this behavior because it ruins our internal values" whatever the fuck. if she would have pissed him off after that sure, she's clearly an idiot. she was just fucking happy and some old fossil is saying "Language."

>Following his separation from the service, Hickam worked as an engineer for the United States Army Aviation and Missile Command from 1971 to 1978, assigned to Huntsville.[8] Between 1978 and 1981, he was an engineer for the 7th Army Training Command in Germany.[13]
>Hickam began employment with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration at Marshall Space Flight Center in 1981 as an aerospace engineer. His specialties included training astronauts in regard to science payloads and extra-vehicular activities (EVA). Additionally, Hickam assisted at the Neutral Buoyancy Simulator as a diver where astronaut crews trained for numerous Spacelab and Space Shuttle missions, including the Hubble Space Telescope deployment, the first two Hubble repair missions, Spacelab-J (with the first Japanese astronauts), and the Solar Max repair mission.[3][14] Prior to his retirement from NASA in 1998, Hickam was the payload training manager for the International Space Station program.[14]

>Homer Hickam, a former NASA engineer, current member of the National Space Council, and inspiration for the movie October Sky, which was based on his memoir Rocket Boys, happened to see the tweet. "I'm a Vietnam vet and not at all offended by the F-word," Hickam explained later in a blog post which has apparently been taken down but is still archived here. "However, when I saw NASA and the word used together, it occurred to me that this young person might get in trouble if NASA saw it." And so, he tweeted her a one-word warning: "Language."

[Anonymous No.16128758]

>Once Hickam explained who he was, Naomi H may have realized she'd made an error. (Since then, she appears to have made her Twitter account private.) Unfortunately, some of her well-meaning friends apparently jumped in to defend her. Hickam merely notes that they "said a lot of unkind things," although, if their everyday use of language is similar to hers, it seems likely their comments were equally profane. But--and here's the dumbest part of this very dumb story--they used the hashtag #NASA in their messages to Hickam.
>It may well be that up until that moment no NASA official was aware of the exchange. But NASA employees do pay attention to the #NASA hashtag, as one might expect. They saw the conversation. And, according to Hickam's blog post, they decided to revoke Naomi H's internship because of it. Hickam goes out of his way to note that he had nothing to with this--and could not have had anything to do with it because he has no direct involvement in hiring or firing. He also writes that the young woman reached out to him with what he terms an unnecessary apology. He says he apologized in turn and, after speaking to Naomi H and reviewing her résumé?, has concluded that she deserves a good job in aerospace and is working to help her get one. He also says he contacted NASA to make sure there is no black mark on her record. He even says she can re-apply for an internship if she wants.
