Oh FYI: Today was my last day at TIDAL.
I appreciate everyone who has reached out to congratulate me on quitting, but to be clear—I was fired.
The severance amount was insulting so I didn& #39;t accept or sign the shaky NDA because I rather have the ability to speak for myself.

Remember when TIDAL was dragged for hosting a Drink Champs ep about BLM ft. Russell Simmons? & people concluded they don& #39;t respect/support Black women?
Somehow, the internal response to that was to fire the Black woman whose job it is to tweet promotion for said show...

FYI: Before anything gets to a social team, it has to be approved by everyone above. And in this case, this a show TIDAL doesn& #39;t even produce — just hosts in app.
So there& #39;s room to not publish questionable content. Still, everyone saw it & said "*shrug* Cool."

I reluctantly posted (not the first time I posted something I didn& #39;t agree with) but that& #39;s the job I suppose.
When I flagged the online dragging the senior mgmt narrative flipped into: "I had ~no idea~ of Russell& #39;s assault allegations. If YOU knew, why would you post it?"

And I was gone the next day.

In any other case, I& #39;d be embarrassed to admit to being fired. But being dropped for not agreeing with distasteful decision making doesn& #39;t feel like an L to me.

After two terrible social media jobs, I say all that to say this: In every company, social managers don& #39;t make the calls but are always at fault when shit hits the fan.
So please think about that before applying to your next cool job. </end>
