18 days ago

🔥 After Charlie Kirk’s killing, multiple employers have terminated or suspended workers over social media posts that appeared to celebrate or glorify the assassination, with activists and a doxxing site flagging posts for employers and officials.

🧭 Best‑practice advice for leaders: avoid knee‑jerk reactions, talk directly with employees to understand context, and align decisions with the culture and experience the organization aims to create.
