That's cool n all, but this chick is now blacklisted from every company with an HR staff bigger than 1 over worked offshore person.

We can all applaud trying to stick it to the man, but this is going to show up on every background report for the rest of her life.

I've also been concerned about negative outcomes for people based on the videos I've heard about and the one I saw posted before, but that's what makes them so brave. The more they do it and the more such videos are normalized, the less harsh companies can be in retaliation.

Management being assholes is not as much a generational thing (at least, not as much as it seems) as the nature of what corporations expect of managers. The few amazing managers who somehow remain human while doing their job, who are good mentors, etc., are outliers.

I think the point is for you to meditate on that fact.

Influencer or not, however, those who stream videos of themselves being fired from their job risk facing repercussions, such as violating severance agreements, the BBC reported. Job termination videos can also backfire on those who post them if viewers find the post vindictive or unprofessional.

"Generally speaking, such moves are a double-edged sword. The literature on whistleblowers, a more extreme form of publicly sharing bad practices, shows that people get stigmatized for doing so," Ben Voyer, an ESCP Business School professor who founded the Gen Z Observatory, told Business Insider in a recent article.

"Generally, society doesn't reward people that engage in behaviors that some may see as a betrayal. Pushing such content online is a way to get moral support on the one hand, and a little revenge on the other hand," he said.

If you're confused about who to blame, remember that one side debates on whether they should purchase a mega yacht, or have a more reasonable "support" yacht trailing the main one for their helicopter/staff.

Not even Millennials see action against your employer as 'betrayal'. Company loyalty is dead, and this professor is out of touch.

Pretty sure the betrayal is for future employers that may look you up

Love to see class consciousness rising above artificial generational conflict

As an older GenX I thank the Millenials for that. Generation Z seems to love their consumerism a little too much but at least they seem to know who's screwing them and its not the poor folk.
