Let's see, when is the last time that some prominent person who ought to know better is seated before mic and camera and uttereth obscenities under the assumption that they shalt not be broadcast? A few days ago?
"Mets General Manager Brodie Van Wagenen was captured on video delivering a searing critique of Commissioner Rob Manfred that he later retracted in a written apology.“At the leadership level, he doesn’t get it,” Van Wagenen said of Manfred, in a video feed the Mets use for Zoom news conferences that appeared to have been accidentally broadcast online."
Set aside the fact that he didn't know what he was talking about in the first place. I'm an old guy and maybe that's why I am very careful with social media and technology in general. Younger folks have been brought up with smartphones in hand and many don't realize what destructive weapons they and other technology can be.
He won't be fired for this - his apologies were profuse and immediate - but in business, it constitutes another brick in the wall. That is, when enough negative karma has accumulated, this incident will be in the back of minds. Again, because people don't know when to shut up around technology.
