I, for one, would like to know if there was a nice settlement and whether the employees sending anti-semitic shit are still there. https://t.co/Ac1a7NV277

GitHub has rehired the Jewish employee it fired for saying “Nazis are about” during the Capitol Hill insurrection and their head of HR has resigned for the bad decision.

This is a quick and welcome response to the employee outcry. https://t.co/MW2xNV1OfM

If you’re “in communications with his representative,” you haven’t “reversed the separation,” you’ve just realized you screwed up, are liable for an employment discrimination law suit, & are negotiating a settlement of some kind. https://t.co/UmTgFEOQgs

This was horrific to witness from the inside. I'm feeling much better about my employment given this resolution. It's not often you see this much public transparency on a matter such as this.

(I'll admit there are still significant issues remaining) https://t.co/LhrP5XXIrN

Respect to all the antifascists working for @github, who fought back against the firing of an employee who cited that Nazis were indeed attempting a coup at the Capitol.https://t.co/pgmsJhvYaJ

Remember the ethical question I asked on Friday about possibly looking for those supporting violence at the Capitol?

I was completely unaware that GitHub had already done the opposite and is now reversing their mistake. https://t.co/A60prHYVnH

What other hiring decisions need to be reversed?

Whew, shit. People don't wanna have that conversation. They're gonna want to treat this as an "isolated incident". Rather than facing the fact that their leaders have been harming employees for who knows how long. https://t.co/CyOQZxAtOR

Can you actually take personal accountability without putting your name to it

This kind of shitshow is what happens when ex: a director or VP is consistently enabled by their company to disappear employees they don’t like or consider troublemakers. It’s not worth this just to keep some senior manager from having a tantrum. https://t.co/DOZ9iIxhsl

— Kate (@KateRoseBee) January 17, 2021

Genuinely shocked (in a good way) to see this outcome.

This tweet is a bit misleading. Reversing the separation doesn’t mean the employee has accepted the offer to return.

This is one small step in righting THIS wrong, not the solution to fixing everything that’s happened. https://t.co/tj7QBSbx59

hey, cool! good job. but:

- did you financially compensate the employee in question and offer them assistance finding a new job if desired, because i’d for sure not want to work there anymore

- you still have contracts with ICE. when are you going to get rid of them? https://t.co/cszUrAwHSi

We found significant errors of judgment and procedure in a recent employee separation. We have reversed the separation, and our head of HR has taken personal accountability and resigned from GitHub. We apologize sincerely to the employee. https://t.co/zm8CA15IQf
