This goes for Adria Richards' employer SendGrid as well. Andria has publicly embarrassed you and put on the blacklist among many good engineers. I would never work for you or any other company that has position reserved for "developer evangelists."
By the way, let's not forget that besides Adria Richards, there is another party to be shamed and boycotted: PlayHaven.
I am pretty good at what I do and I would never ever in a million years work for them or anyone like them. Good engineers are in demand and thus in a position of some influence.
Don't take the victim mindset. Your employer needs you at least as much as you need them. Boycott PlayHaven. They need to know there are consequences. It's the only way anything is going to change.
I saw a petition to re-hire the guy who got fired. Fuck that. I know I wouldn't want that job back.
OMG I just read the comment from the real victim, the guy who got fired and he is apologizing!
DUDE what are you apologizing for? She should be apologizing (will never happen). Your employer should be apologizing as well. But YOU have done absolutely nothing wrong.
At the very least I hope your apology in insincere and you're only doing it to get another job, which is somewhat understandable.
This is absolutely insane! A man makes a private innocent joke, a woman complains, the man get fired.
Meanwhile women (and men) are free to make violent jokes about men's penises getting cutoff, hitting men in the crutch, etc. And all this on TV for millions of viewer!
