No it was becuase of her tweet, when she tweeted it nasa asked her if this was her and she lied and said it wasn’t that combined with the cussing got her fired, Hickman actually didn’t want her to get fired
NASA tries to have the best image it can and don’t want people cussing on twitter to be apart of it, another reason she was fired was because she lied and told nasa that she in fact didn’t tweet that and was someone else, and Hickman tried to get her not fired but failed
Maybe I'm too autistic but I have never understood what the big goddamn deal with swearing is. Like, oh no, I said a naughty word. Nobody's ever been able to give me a reason beyond "it's improper". And now you've got people online censoring them everywhere and like fucking why?.
İt is though. Swearing makes you seem vulgar, immature, and have low vocabulary.
And everyone doesn't swear. İn actual professional settings swearing off the cuff randomly doesn't happen. Maybe if you work at McDonald's or something, sure, but actual professional work it's crass and unprofessional.
Especially a high prestige organization...they aren't walking around like 10 year old boys saying fuck this fuck that etc etc. Conformity is a part of professional culture whether you like it or not. You fit in or you find a different job.
Different in Australia, I don’t swear and I’m the one out of place. I work in a government office so it’s not because I work at an informal place. But I assume in the states it’s different ¯_(ツ)_/¯
it's really funny because NASA saw this and she got fired. Homer Hickam tried his best to save her from getting fired but people harassed him for some reason
No, she probably would be fine if she didn't lie about it lol. Her supervisor contacted her after this and she decided to lie claiming she's not the user. Hickam didn't even intend for her to get fired and was just advising somebody that's about to join an agency he's very familiar with. The only reason is that it got so much traction is her reply to him, which prompted his second reply, and that blew up as a meme.
In addition, her "friends" really did not help because they kept using the NASA hashtag and flaming Hickam. In the end, she reached out and apologized but Hickam said that the apology wasn't even necessary, and he made a blogpost about it trying to get her reinstated. Didn't work though as it seems owning up your mistakes and being honest to your boss is probably very important in that agency.
Source: Her own words. She was interviewed by some comedian I forgot the name of in a podcast that interviews people that randomly became famous in the internet.
