I’ve started seeing various stories of people in the media speaking out in support of Palestine and being swiftly fired. I’m very curious if the current state of propaganda is going to increase the chance of people working in non-public facing jobs of also being fired and branded anti-Semitic. I’m scared of this coming up in the workplace because I don’t think I’d be able to keep my mouth shut and I could absolutely see certain people starting shit.
Outside of no-cause firing being legal, USA has a bunch of cooked laws suppressing criticism of israel. I would be just as careful as talking about unions as talking about israel in the workplace. watch out for snitches and bosses. test the water first.
i know hypocrisy is a dead meme but
folks where you at?
I mean if you look at the organizations opposed to Anti-BDS laws a few of them are free speech orgs like the ACLU.
But yeah the
lords in the reddit sense probably don’t care lol
I could also see someone being fired with cause because they were reported to HR for being anti-semitic.
I’d tread very carefully and I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze. You’re unlikely to change any minds in the workplace.
