I'm going to get roasted for this, but even knowing HR is an advocate for capital / management, part of their job is removing some of the shittiest parts of sharing a workspace with bigots and bullies. Even if it is just to lower their liability exposure.

To whit : a (less than genius) dude posted on (coupla companies ago) corp chat app some shit about trans athletes in grade school, and I replied "as a trans person this feels threatening," and that shit was gone and I never heard from him again.

So they fired him without even giving him a warning? Sounds kinda excessive if you ask me. Like, sure, stuff like that doesn’t belong in the company chat app but losing your job over it seems a bit harsh.

Maybe it wasn't the first time or maybe they were transferred to a position that was "invisible" to OP, you never know.

Well, that's why I asked for clarification, didn't I.
