The case of the teacher who got fired for a satirical tweet - did the school overreact?
I was skeptical when I first heard about that English teacher in Texas who got canned for tweeting 'my students are brainwashed by TikTok' as a joke. But after seeing the full thread where she doubled down calling parents 'snowflakes', I'm leaning towards the school being right. Was the firing justified or did the district cave to a mob of 50 angry parents?

Tbh my coworker got written up for a similar joke about customers, complete overreaction.

My friend Sarah made a joke at her retail job about how she'd need a vacation after dealing with a super rude customer all day... got pulled into the office an hour later because someone overheard and reported her for "hostile workplace behavior." The manager made her write a whole apology letter to the entire team even though everyone knew she was just venting in the break room. People have no sense of humor anymore about small stuff like that.
