It is not known where in America Naomi lives, but she identifies as a furry - a subculture who enjoy dressing up as cartoon-inspired animals. He blamed Naomi's 'friends' for her dismissal, claiming they spread the exchange on social media long after he deleted his tweets for fear of getting the intern in trouble. After getting the incredible news that she had been accepted into NASA’s internship program, a Twitter user who goes by the name Naomi H posted a celebratory tweet that included profanity.
#NASA INTERNSHIP WOMAN LOSES SERIES#
A woman lost her internship at NASA less than 24 hours after she was awarded the job following a vulgar series of tweets in which she accidentally told a senior member of staff to 'suck my d**k and b***s' The 75-year-old said he did not personally complain to Nasa before the woman was stripped of her offer, and that he never intended to get her in trouble. The NASA legend has revealed he is doing all he can to help Naomi secure a future in the aerospace sector that is better than the opportunity she lost. Hickam later said in a blog post he learned that the unnamed intern had been fired by Nasa, who saw her tweets, following their exchange, and sympathised with her. But the boorish intern was left red-faced when Hickam responded: 'And I am on the National Space Council that oversees NASA.' Her online friends then replied to Hickam with insulting tweets and included the hashtag 'NASA', which brought it to the attention of the space agency. Her tweet got a response from Homer Hickam, a former NASA engineer and member of the National Space Council, who wrote: 'Language.' Naomi, who claims to be 21 years old, then replied: 'Suck my d**k and b***s I'm working at NASA'. I GOT ACCEPTED FOR A NASA INTERNSHIP,' she wrote. A now-deleted thread began when Twitter user Naomi H celebrated her acceptance onto NASA's competitive internship programme with a profanity-laden post. One day our work culture might be closer to the social media culture and all of this might be accepted, until then play nice and remember what you post online is permanent and public.A woman lost her internship at NASA following a vulgar series of tweets in which she unwittingly told a senior space adviser to 'suck my d**k and b***s' just hours after she was accepted for the job. Maybe as a forth tip: use Google to check who someone is before telling them to suck any part of your anatomy.Įveryone looking for jobs/internships works really hard to get through the process, so this must be hugely disappointing. Save the rants, expressing your fears, and the swearing for private channels.Imagine the CEO of the company reading your post – before you post.
The woman, who goes only by the name of Naomi H, had apparently just landed herself an internship spot with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, and decided to post about it on. But it’s not what I want to hear at work, especially not directed at me. This story about a Twitter user who recently lost out on a NASA internship after a remarkably stupid series of events illustrates this quite well. I’m quite bad at swearing, as in I rarely do it, but I recognise the cathartic effect it has, the great release of tension following a good swear. She might be on to something. For anyone entering the workforce now there’s a period of adjustment and that might be getting harder to negotiate as the gap between popular or youth culture and work culture grows. When one of my 20-something-year-old colleagues made a significant error on social media, the reaction of my boss was that he “wasn’t fully socialised yet”. Work itself is less hierarchical and more informal. I am contactable on a company mobile phone but I also have access to personal social media accounts on the same device. I think there’s a trend that our work and private lives are blending, mobile phones have freed us from the office desk meaning that we are always contactable.
This isn’t the first time a celebratory social media post has cost someone their job, there was the day care worker in 2015, and the Cisco new hire in 2009.
I’m betting she dials back on the sweary tweeting. There’s an almost-happy ending to this, apparently Naomi has apologised and Homer is trying to help her find a role in the aerospace industry. Because Homer Hickam isn’t kidding around, and he’s properly famous with a wiki page, an amazon page, and an IMDB entry. It’s the second tweet posted by Naomi that’s problematic. Woman loses great internship in two tweets.
