Um, wow... Was this a personal or a professional Tweet? If personal, is your account sufficiently identified with you to link to your work for them? (i.e. is your Twitter account under your real name?) That seems insanely harsh. Especially from companies such as those!
(Along that line, it always surprises me the puritanical types who think that a visible breast while breast-feeding is obscene and must be banned in public places - yet they let their kids watch violence with no qualms - and often have no problem with general misogyny such as at "Hooters" restaurants.)

Dude this isn't about you and your beliefs. Keep it on subject.
Sorry localgirl, what other skills and abilities do you have in case anyone knows of any opportunities in northern Idaho?

Oh, also, I can write like mad, edit, teach, do light renovation and woodworking, make art, design things, organize like mad, and pretty much anything other than TIG welding and piloting aircraft.
Very sorry to hear this. Corporate America has no loyalty to employees anymore. Don't go quietly. Bust chops. Negotiate a severence package of pay and benefits. Have an attorney contact them. Most companies will negotiate to avoid litigation. I always did.
The employer should really have discussed it with you. Jeez, it doesn't seem nearly bad enough to be fired for.Heh heh! Don't encourage me, B! This time, I actually tried to tone down my usual terrier tactics. I told the boss I wish he would have spoken to me in person rather than e-mail, because then maybe he wouldn't have jumped to false conclusions (I provided e-mails that showed he was making false accusations). He responded that I burned my bridges by insulting him with the "conclusions" comment.
So, yeah, obviously at this point there's no need for me to be tactful. But one of my former bosses IS an attorney, and I was working on a contract basis. I'm pretty much dead to rights.
On the bright side, I have two more paychecks coming, and a little time to find another job.
Anyone want to buy an "artsy" little house in Sandpoint?!
