My boss at the Phoenix call center gave me a choice: delete my tweet about the broken AC or lose my job.
I posted a pic of the office thermostat reading 87 degrees with the caption 'working conditions are a joke here.' They said it was bad for the company's image. I chose to delete it, but they still fired me the next day for 'attitude issues.' Has anyone else been fired for something they already took down?

Seriously? They canned you over a deleted tweet about the heat? That feels like they were just looking for any excuse to get rid of you. The "attitude issues" thing sounds like a cover because they knew firing you over the tweet was weak. What a garbage move.

My old boss had a list of "attitude issues" longer than my deleted tweet. They just needed a reason to cut costs before the quarter ended. Guess complaining about the office AC was my final corporate crime.

Saw a story last year about a warehouse worker who got fired for an old Instagram story about slow wifi, even after they removed it. Management claimed it showed a "pattern of negativity." It's a classic move to make the firing seem about your character, not their bad conditions.
