> So I looked at my husband and asked the big question: How far would he support me in taking this? What if I didn’t delete the tweet and I got fired for it and we lost our health insurance? He told me to stand my ground, even though he’s in multiple high-risk categories for COVID as a cancer survivor with asthma, and that’s why I love him so much.
Heh I'll probably get downvoted for saying this, but that's not brave, that's just plain irresponsible and stupid, she's literally trading more risk(and that risk concerns her family too) for no gain whatsoever (it costs nothing to delete a tweet, but the loss of her job could potentially cost her everything).
Be smarter and pick your battles wisely.

I've read this twice now, and both times I've come away with the same feeling: this is an immature reaction to an immature reaction to an arguably immature action.

Shouldn’t be flagged. This is super insightful into the inner workings of two companies.
Good on the manager for supporting their employee and good on Figma for not giving into these scare tactics. Only a shame that the email from sales didn’t come with a “we don’t plan to give in over this or pressure our employee” as the email itself seems like undue pressure.
Hope Sprinkr is forced to use lesser tools because their VP decided to make an ass out of themselves over an innocuous tweet.

Classic heavy-handed information suppression tactics, good for her for sticking to her guns and good for Figma for supporting her.

I fully support this lady’s “right to say dumb shit on the internet”, but if Gina Carano can be fired by Disney for her tweets, so can she (who actually wasn’t even fired). Freedom of speech isn’t freedom from consequences.

I now have all this knowledge about Amy Brown's uterus, hormones, large eggs, and husband's sperm that I feel did not contribute to this story in any way...

Please stop naming companies Somethingly or Boggl or Toddlr or Nameify.

An eye for an eye, I guess.
You'd probably get more done writing them a letter directly, or suing him/them.

Why is this flagged?

I had to read this twice to understand how the Sprinklr VP tried to get her fired. He didn't. They threatened legal action and thats about it. The author overreacted and then let that contribute to "burn out" which influenced her decision to leave the company.

I'm only part way through, it does seem like Sprinklr or the VP is in the wrong, but I'm curious how the author can say simultaneously that her tweets don't matter, and then also call herself a leading voice in her industry, and brag about the amount of twitter followers she has.
