My friend got fired over a 10 year old tweet and I had to choose between backing him up or staying quiet at work.

I picked staying quiet because my boss made it clear anyone supporting him would be next, and now I feel like I failed a basic loyalty test but also saved my own job.

That's a really tough spot to be in, man.

I mean @james_kim is right it's tough, but what would you have done if your boss hadn't made that threat?

Wait, a tweet from ten years ago? That's insane. I mean @xenagarcia has a point, but man, that feels like digging up ancient history just to fire someone.
