Yes because that hypothetical is a fair comparison
I should have written the lack of empathy for the OP by some posters!
Grown man acts like child and makes a mean comment on social media to some celebrity.
Grown man/celebrity reacts like child and responds and makes sure person's employer sees it.
Employer says stop engaging on twitter on that person and moves on with running the company.
Initial grown man who started all this refuses to let it go as his honor has been slighted
The grown man has decided that after consulting multiple solicitors who either tell him to forget it or refuse to engage even if they thought he had a case because like most people, they realise that this isn't worth the effort.
Instead of trying to get twitter or the celebrity to remove the tweet or even remove his own twitter profile, the grown man leaves everything all up there so that the lawyers (when he finds one) will be able to see it.
Everyone is pointing out spending thousands on some sort of legal action is pointless. What the celebrity did to he OP was wrong. It was ignorant. It was childish. It was also dangerous. But the OP is at risk of losing sight of what is important by hassling their employer to admit they were wrong to interfere, stressing about it and then looking to spend thousands of euro on protecting their good name when I am willing to bet that no-one even remembers the tweet and cares even less. Just a
Musk called someone a child abuser on Twitter and was let off. People and companies with much higher profiles than the OP are abused and defamed every single day. I have seen people accusing our politicians of personally causing the deaths of people, of taking bribes and everything else under the sun. Nobody unless you are Gemma O Doherty runs to the lawyers. People who get personally insulted by what is written on sites like Twitter and even AAM by people not even using their real names need to stop engaging with others on social media.
The employee works for a large company with thousands of employees. He or she has gotten into conflict publicly with a personal friend of the CEO. The employee is a long way removed from the CEO and doesn’t know him or her.
Whatever way you want to look at it, it doesn’t bode well.
It is perhaps more analagous to me having a shouting match publicly in a bar with Zuckerberg’s brother-in-law and me working for Facebook.
while less spurious than your previous analogy , a social media scrap is hardly equivalent to a screaming match in public
well known public personalities receive snide and insulting remarks on twitter every day of the week
That’s the point, it is!
People need to realise that.
a social media scrap is hardly equivalent to a screaming match in public
True, a public screaming match doesn't leave a permanent public record viewable by millions!
i wouldnt bother pursuing it personally but the rush to hang him is slightly tedious in its level of pompous condemnation
the amount of monocles which have been dropped is off the charts
Many have interpreted the OP's classification of their own comment as 'mean' to equate to abuse or bullying, and so feel condemnation is appropriate based on the limited information shared.
Comments like the above, and referring to other posters here as pompous puts you a long way off the moral high ground.
