Your job is to make the company look good, and who ever the person was did a horrible job of gauging the current political and social atmosphere. If any of us would have acted in such a way using our companies social media platform we also would be fired. That doesn’t mean I agree with the backlash against him, but you’ve got to be smart in your career, especially when you are representing a company in a public place.
Assuming he is Polish and not an American or British, it's not surprising he is a little tone deaf to the current bloodthirsty social justice climate. I mean, if your grandparents and/or parents survived the invasion of Poland by Germany and the Holocaust, it's not surprising that you would be insensitive to this bullshit. CDPR shouldn't be bowing down to this shit.Right, I can't get too upset over this because the dude brought them nothing but bad PR, why wouldn't they fire him?
I was never too crazy about the tweets, it's not too far removed from the "if you don't like it, don't buy it" attitude just from the opposite end of the political spectrum, don't antagonize your audience.
Did they then hire that Resetera admin (Hect) to replace him?
You know, the one who helped acquire the dox info through GOG's official resetera forum account and concert with other members a public doxing on twitter (which resulted in confirmed death threats against that person and his family, and they didn't even know who did the tweet but grabbed a random PR team member info to feed to the mob anyways as long as one gets hurt), then tagged GOG directly asking them to hire him since one position is now available soon?
That's an interesting bold tactic to get employed that GOG is promoting here.

I don't think this person deserved to be fired. People nowadays will always get offended at everything.Community managers are essentially PR. If they make the company look bad, wether it's deserved or not, they have failed at their job and deserve to be let go.
Did you just assume his genderLame. Someone should give him a Mod position...

Era is joke forum. I hate it. Mods don't allow any kind of freedom of speech there. Fuk that forum. I hope it gets hacked or deleted.Wow that GOG thread is pretty telling. This was the wrong choice.
I didn't find the jokes offensive, and I haven't seen them explained to be offensive in a single, coherent statement. Just a lot of people on ERA or Twitter saying that they are with no good explanation as to why. We shouldn't fire people because a loud minority on the internet find a joke to be offensive. People's livelihoods are worth more than fake outrage.
God damn. And they say the devil doesn't exist.Did they then hire that Resetera admin (Hect) to replace him?

The bullshit Hecht, and by association ResetEra, pulled regarding this needs to be talked about more. It's fucking despicable.Did they then hire that Resetera admin (Hect) to replace him?

OP post seems to be an attempt to garner outrage based off lopsided presentation of facts.
No links to the full events or screenshots of the tweets in question.
Without the full picture how can I assess which side is being the bigger babies?
The evidences are gone. Era is innocent. The doxx never existed in the first place. GOG fired that guy because he makes bad coffee. /sOP post seems to be an attempt to garner outrage based off lopsided presentation of facts.

Whoever contributed to that they are not just snowflakes. They are just plain assholes. The f'cking assholes you should avoid meeting in your life. And I just tried to search any topic related to this recent event there and I guess they are either not aware of that yet or they not feeling so prideful about that. I hope it's because of the latter.People getting fired, maybe with a family and children to sustain, because some fucking lifeless worthless snowflakes decided to be offended at everything...I'm angry and I should stop typing.
So far, the only company that has not cucked to unproven claims that these incidents "hurt their brand" is Steam, which, oddly, has not gone bankrupt after allowing hentai games on its platform. In fact, they seem to be doing great.

I think that anyone who agreed the PR people insulting their fans and getting fired was a good thing should be consistent in their opinion with this result. I don't think the issue is nearly on the same scale and there was no doubling down but still.
In what way are outright insults and the most elliptic humour equivalent?
Your take seems to be on the same vein as the recurring "GAF is the mirror image of ERA"
Not sure what you mean. I did not mention any other forum. I meant that the PR people have offended some fans and to be impartial they should be dealt in the same way regardless of I or you agree that it was offensive since "offense" is not an objective feeling.
They never were, just some people didn't want to see them for what they truly are.I thought CDPR was better than this.
