When I tried to put “Motherfucker” on a promotional t-shirt back in 2010, I understood management at that business being upset. Corporate punk-washing and “witty” socials were still growing/evolving. In 2015, we ended up doing it.
But an ART MUSEUM firing me for posting a picture of two barbies in front of an installation? That blew my mind! I'm still struggling with their logic.
Extra context: I'm being graceful as I can, but I'm split between sadness and absolutely reveling in the hilarity of the situation. They presented me with some trumped up PIP with a ton of either falsified or simply incorrect information after I explained why I thought the post was actually a good connection to us, but still said “If after my context you still want it taken down, I will do so immediately.” That was apparently insubordination?On top of that, the PIP Included “issues” on several dates that I was still on medical leave, and one thing that my boss actually did himself. I'm absolutely not going to let them drag me through the mud, but I do enjoy now being able to say I was so much a Barbie Girl I got fired for it.
