A Facebook Mom Threatening Mothers Who Breastfeed in Public Resulted in the Loss of Her Job
Karma is a mother.
One Facebook post about public breastfeeding turned into a fast-moving workplace fallout. Carly Clark, a mother and Facebook user, wrote that she would punch the next woman she saw breastfeeding in public, even if it meant hurting the baby in the process.
The reaction was immediate, and it did not stay on Facebook for long. Other users pushed the post to Petsense, where Clark worked, and the company responded by firing her after hearing from multiple angry commenters. The whole mess put a harsh spotlight on how quickly a cruel post can turn into real consequences.
Now the original post, the backlash, and the company response all tell the same story, and it is not a flattering one.
Here's the original post:
That post did not sit well with anyone reading it.
Of course, people were immediately calling her out on her behavior.
People wasted no time making sure the company saw it too.
It’s also like labeling lunch to catch the office thief and sparking a workplace debate.
"Make this go viral" And it did. :)
Turns out she was a manager too.
That detail made the backlash even bigger.
This was Petsense's response:
Looks like karma is a mom.
