[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She acted crazy on Twitter. Coworkers shouldn’t be blasted online like that. [/quote]
Um, you mean like the guy who wrote that all women are bipolar or bisexual?  That guy who still has a job at the WaPo?[/quote]

He got reprimanded, suspended, didn’t he? Did you want him to get fired for a stupid tweet? [/quote]

You mean like she got fired for pointing out he made a stupid (misogynistic to be more accurate) tweet that insulted half of his coworkers?  Collegiality my butt.[/quote]

He literally didn’t make the tweet. And it was a bad dad joke that most sane people didn’t even care about. [/quote]

Ok Wiegel.  He shared the tweet.  If I had done that in a public forum, my place of work would have fired him.  And the dads I know don't talk about women in that way.[/quote]

It's Weigel, not Wiegel. You work at a different place. He's not a dad.

The guy apologized, instantly, and was suspended without pay for a month. He is a good reporter who is usually goofy but not offensive on Twitter. I really don't see the possible justification for punishing him worse than this, over such a dumb thing.
