Wtf no it isn't. People should stick up for themselves. Don't be part of a shitty system. Better to have it blow up on you because you said the wrong thing than keep quiet and let it stay shit.

Unfortunately, the way this guy went about it, airing dirty laundry for the world to see (and potential employers) basically made him unemployable. There are plenty of good people out there that don't bring that kind of baggage.

No it doesn't make you unemployable. Any reasonable person will not care that you did this, or even will take it as a sign that you're a good person.

What is up with all these whipped people in this comment section who don't understand that quality people respect others for sticking up to bullies? This attitude is enabling abuse by defending keeping it private.

Nobody who knew about this episode would ever hire that guy. Too much baggage, too high maintenance. He'd never make it through a simple HR screening if that popped up. I mean I'm sure someone would eventually hire him for something, but he's definitely on people's radar now I suspect. Most people want to get work done and not deal with this type of bullshit, plain and simple.

Both seemed like bullies to me. Corporations hire people to solve problems and save money. They don't care about personal crusades.

In my observation they don't care either way. They're not gonna jump up to help and defend you, but they also just don't care very much and if they want engineers, they're gonna take em.
