Facebook CIO Discusses Zuckerberg's "Will You Resign?" Email
CarlaRudder writes: When Mark Zuckerberg sends an email with the subject line, "Will you resign?" people remember it. In this case, the email went to the entire company after someone leaked damaging information, but CIO Tim Campos talks about his hesitation to open the email, thinking it was addressed to him personally. He goes on to share an insider's perspective on the power of culture at Facebook, the benefits of giving employees time and space to both fail and create, and why data is at the core of every decision made in the company.
There have been times in my life when I'd happily reply to that email.
Tell that to Brendan Eich.
Not really seeing the problem there. First amendment and all that. Mr Eich is free to support whoever he likes. His employees are free to resign and make a fuss about working for someone they don't like. He had a choice: stick to his job or lose employees, and he chose the former. No one got arrested, no one got disappeared.
It seems odd to me that the so-called "free speech advocates" seem to actually only support "offensive" speech and appear to find quite normal free speech rather objectionable. The flip side of offensive speech is one gets to call the offenders out as wankers.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
If you have a group of people, and one of them does something wrong, you address the issue with the person who did something wrong. If you send an e-mail out to the entire group, then the person who did something wrong will think it is directed at someone else, and everyone else will think it is directed at them. This is one of the very first things you learn as a manager. You absolutely do not reprimand by group. You reprimand individually. You praise publicly. If you can't understand that, or disagree, then you need to be removed from your position of authority.
If you are not allowed to question your government then the government has answered your question.
