Y’all should be nicer about this. He didn’t have anything to do with her losing the internship. She apologized pretty much immediately afterwards. It was actually a mob of her friends using the NASA hashtag that got her in trouble, but her sincere and heartfelt apology to this man inspired him to talk to NASA and his good word got her a better position than she would’ve had before.
Please think for even a second before participating in this sort of muckraking nonsense.
I have not seen bad reactions to this, but this post by Homer Hickam is the sweetest.
the opposite of ‘we die like men’ is ‘we survive like women’
I like that this both showcases the strength of women and gives everyone a chance to survive, because anyone can die like a man, and anyone can survive like a woman.
“Die like men”- die strong, fighting for what you believe in, accepting responsibility and giving no quarter.
“Survive like women’- piecing yourself back together, giving comfort and solidarity to others, learning strength from suffering, fighting to protect vulnerable others.
This whole bankruptcy thing was a money making scam by the suits who bought out the company back in the 2000s and ran it into the ground.
Not only is the toy store brand not dead, but 30,000 people are now angry as this scheme blocked them out of severance pay and they are now unemployed and unable to return to work when they start up again.
Many toy companies including Hasbro are raising eyebrows at this, as the initial bankruptcy cost them millions of dollars in sales revenue and their stocks took a nasty hit (Mattel being the worst off from it, as Toys R Us closing compounded with steadily falling sales of their products). Advocates are calling this a “bad PR stunt” since the suits want the company to make sales for the holidays.
Hopefully, this will cause enough of a stink to kill it off for good. I’d rather say goodbye Geoffrey as I knew him than have him come back as a reanimated corpse controlled by greedy hucksters who put thousands of people out of work for no other reason than to line thier own pockets and escape the consequences of their own failings.
This one of the most disgusting things I’ve seen done by any company in years
Seriously. Share this. Impact sales. I wanna see Toy’s R Us driven in the ground for this shit-fucking hard. No mercy, just good old fashioned, cutthroat capitalism where the market says “FUCK YOU” in bright neon letters…just like the greedy fucks who orchestrated this whole thing like-except they won’t like it when the “FUCK YOU” sign is for them.
