People take Twitter too seriously. Oh no DiGiorno posted on a hashtag and promoted their pizza. It's Pizza Patriarchy!

CurlingOneOut
Probably got fired for an honest mistake
kittybuttwiggle
On the other hand if you hire a social media person you want them to be competent at social media. This shows that the person was not.
CurlingOneOut
Granted, but we all make mistakes at work & this situation would only result in a sacking if enough of a fuss was caused
CurlingOneOut
And people knew this as well, they knew it was just a lazy mistake but they still complained and asked for his head, arseholes
CarolMcAlister
They admitted to not reading the hashtag before commenting on it. As a social media pro myself this is stupid enough to be a firing offense
ShitHasHitTheFan
Cereaza
I've never admitted to a mistake, what would I have made a mistake... about?
ipickedthisusernamebecauseeverythingelsewastaken
They should have had the balls to roll with it.

I agree, but it honestly wouldnt be worth the amount of shit theyd get from angry people. Itd go on for so much longer than it already will.
Porecomesis
I disagree. I like the joke but it's not the right place.
skelitor120
I agree with this. I'm not sensitive to offenses like this but it's just tasteless when informed.
TitaniumTeddyBear
Given the rates of domestic violence worldwide I'm pretty sure it would've hurt their bottom line significantly.
CatEyebrows
Agreed
f3eadme
Denny's would have. They would've taken lemons and made a grand slam with that shit
DrWhoTheHellAreYou
@Dennys, #whyistayed - because the hot maple syrup from my pancakes turned into glue on my face while I was in my post-Grand Slam food coma.
hellsummon
I'm sorry, this is hilarious. And they shouldn't have been made to apologize.
Cereaza
See Liz? She's got 32 pieces of flair.
Habreon
They weren't "made" to do anything
Cereaza
Oh... Someone at DiGiorno's was definitely made to do something. Probably by someone at DiGiorno's who can fire them.
ccjw11796
Yeah, domestic abuse right? Hahahaha funny fucking shit! So fucking funny, I can't even stop laughing right now.
hellsummon
Quit crying. This is partly why we lost the election. People can't take a fucking joke.
ccjw11796
Fuck off, this has nothing to do with that clusterfuck of an election.
hellsummon
You can feel free to fuck off. You're the one coming over here crying.
hooktail419
I don't think they were made to apologize, they were just being sensitive to those that have suffered from spousal abuse.

For those who don't know what's going on: #whyIstayed is about reasons why women stay with violent partners

Maybe they stayed because of the pizza. You don't know their life.
lllllllllll
Well it ain't trade marked. Can be used for any reason why you stayed somewhere. Fuck trend shit, use it pizza place! :P
VodkaReindeer
Unlike pizzas, we were able to figure that out.
jojo558
correction, #whyIstayed was about why people stayed in an abusive relationship. It was a unisex hashtag.
jojo558
There was also a tandem hashtag #whyIleft about why people left abusive relationships.
KittensGivePaarthurnaxGas
That becomes painfully obvious after reading *one* Tweet. Still a hilarious comment from DiGiorno's, though.
ILove80s90sActionMoviesAndRelatedGifs
I never loves the "hashtag copywriting"... but that was a real shit moment. Thanks for explanation

BreadyStinellis
That's really over simplifying it. Victims are made to feel worthless and are usually cut off from outside help. They lost their voice.
Zombraina
I think it's more that they've been convinced that their abuser might change, or they're so broken they don't see the point in leaving.
BreadyStinellis
That's really over simplifying it. Victims are made to feel worthless and are usually cut off from outside help. They lost their voice.
RaisinZetaJones
Why does anybody? They love them initially, and then they gradually learn to blame themselves, because the brain is not a fact-finding

(Previous comment may have sounded like I am devaluing passion and research, which I am not - I think your contribution is awesome)

I've seen you on this comment thread several times, always with good information. Do you have experience too, or just passion and research?
RaisinZetaJones
I came from a bad home. My friends used to rely on me to be their rock, the one they'd confide things in, because nothing could faze me. So
RaisinZetaJones
I had a ton of experience dealing with things first and second hand. In my early 20s, I dated the most abusive person I ever met. Never laid
RaisinZetaJones
organ, it is designed to feel emotions first and foremost. They see the honeymoon phase, and then the change in disposition once they become
RaisinZetaJones
a possession. They blame themselves, because they remember their soulmate, the person of their dreams. By the time the emotional pain wears
RaisinZetaJones
off, you're either left with the sunk-cost fallacy in a resilient person, who sees themselves as having put so much time into the relation-
ThePhDJ
LOL. You've just witnessed someone being fired in real time

He didn't get fired.

You could, for a time, DM the DiGiorno's pizza account saying you were offended and get free pizza.

maribl
unless it is an owners grandma there is no excuse. it is marketing 101 before using hasthag google it to understand it.
maribl
though i do not consider it a terrible offence, it does show that person have zero idea of what (s)he is doing work wise.
somekindafuckingidiot
because anyone in control of your brand should know to do 2 seconds of research before saying the first thing that comes to mind? maybe???
PatrikLilja
In the us you get paid half than in western Europe and get fired for small mistakes.
ashmenon
Because it would have taken all of 5 seconds to see what the hashtag was about. Someone who doesn't have that kind of basic initiative is >
ashmenon
> a liability as your social media manager.
magicpantsmcd
Plus the amount of money they make factors in.
ashmenon
Sorry, who is they? The brand or the manager?
FlaccidHamster
Once your value does not exceed the amount you cost the company you are fired. This could have cost the company more than they were worth
Iamthemonkeymansowhatevercats
I mean there are fuckups where your boss goes "well you learned". Then there is this.
TheMonsterWithinYou
This? This isn't a big deal. If people got mad over that they need to sport out their life priorities.
Iamthemonkeymansowhatevercats
Making fun of a hashtag about domestic violence as a national brand isn't exactly a small fuck up.
TheMonsterWithinYou
Oh please. It's not the end of the world. And even I didn't even know this was a new trend. People make mistakes. They apologized. Move on.
itscalledthebendandsnap
In all fairness, they weren't 'making fun' of the hashtag. They used one that they didn't understand, but it wasn't to make fun or ridicule.
drewbs86
Bc we live in a time when everyone is a critic, and people must do their job perfectly and not step one foot wrong because how dare they!!
UnknownSquid
That's a symptom of today's labour market really. Replacements are eager and in abundant supply. We accept lower wages than ever before.
drewbs86
This is true. Every job requires you to be experienced already, you're not going to get trained and there is no room for making mistakes
Syrmerlin
They were tasked with managing DiGiorno's brand image on social media. They made said company look insensitive to spousal abuse. That is...
TheMonsterWithinYou
Not really, might've seen someone else use the hashtag similarly and assumed that's what it was for. It's a mistake not a crime.
BishkekBeats
I'm pretty liberal (just look at my other comments lol) but it's bc of sensitive ppl like this comment that no one takes our needs seriously
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
Doesn't really matter whether somebody's feeling were hurt, the damage to the brand could've lost the company tens of thousands of sales
Syrmerlin
I don't know how I came across as personally offended. I'm just saying that they had a job and did it poorly.
BishkekBeats
I didn't mean to target you personally, but if someone really gets fired for that tweet, then that manager has sensitivity issues
BronzeLeaguePro
Reprimanded? Sure. But fired? Why? They have now learned a very important lesson that will make them a better employee.
Havacado
This right here. I would much rather have an employee that has learned a lesson than a newcomer who has to be told "research the hashtags"
Hammerhead777
DiGiorno is owned by Nestle, he is getting fired. Stupid people boycott products over stuff like this, not that I'd agree with firing them.
digitalutopia
Generally you get fired when you not only don't do your job - but do the exact opposite of what you were hired to do.
Syrmerlin
a colossal cock-up fully deserving of dismissal, especially when simply reading a few tweets would have averted the problem.
t0x1c1T
GuardsmanMiku
its likely there where more than a few tweets making jokes about it, which the employee may have seen and assumed that is wasn't serious

I'd argue they made DiGiorno's look sensitive to spousal abuse, assuming the second tweet was fairly swift. That plus way more advertising.

I'm probably more likely to buy DiGiorno's now that this amusing turn of events has come to my attention.
