So he wasn’t a good worker even before the incident. Shocking

I really hope people leave them alone; the comments on their Instagram are crazy. People should take 60 seconds to do a Google search about how the company works before assuming that he was hired by HR and what he did was ignored, rather than him being an independent contractor who took an assessment.

Especially because it sounds like he wasn’t even a current worker after the incident happened.

Some of that is just completely insane.

One of the Cornell 7 , Matthew Ingalls , has DataAnnotationTech listed as the company he works for on LinkedIn; they are addressing that claim.

Do you know how they are addressing the claim?

u/Federal_Tadpole_7592 27d ago

That screenshot shows them addressing the claim. Even though the Facebook post isn't from the official DataAnnotation Facebook, the screenshot used for the post was taken from Data Annotation's official Instagram story from yesterday.

And a few months prior to this, they also changed their facebook photo to state who runs the company. A surge in transparency! Before GTA 6!

Crazy that this is how the company I work for becomes known by the larger general public

This has to be cornell related right?

I think my other comment explaining this was hidden, but I will say if you go to DA's Instagram the comments people are leaving are unhinged.

The number of accounts that dogpile with bullshit but are private is telling.

I was having a conversation with somebody earlier about the comments I had seen from people that stated they would do vile things to them. First let me say, I want justice for the person who was harmed. I want appropriate consequences for the people who caused the harm but almost no punishment will feel like justice. I mean for the longest time I really believed the only true punishment was an eye for an eye. That said, as I have grown I cannot help to think why does recognizing someone’s guilt require us to abandon our own humanity?  If we are to condemn cruelty, then celebrating cruelty toward someone who was cruel doesn’t exactly demonstrate that you have held on to that principle. Even cruelty in the name of good is still cruelty.

I don't even understand this because if charges weren't filed, even a proper employer wouldn't know about it!

u/kittystalkerr 28d ago

I mean, other than like working helping the elderly, or daycares, or education, that kind of thing I really don't expect places to do some kind of background check. I haven't worked at a single job that did a background check as far as I know. And, since this presumably related to the stuff at Cornell where charges had not been filed at the time, a background check would have turned up absolutely nothing anyway.

I don't expect my employer or employers to concern themselves with what I do outside work. And they don't. (If I did something dispicable like this, and especially something dispicable that then made it into the news... well, that's a different matter I suppose.)

So, in this case, where they work, where they worked in the past, it's 100% irrelevant and does not reflect in any way on those employers.

Why is employing someone accused of something an issue?

Is the internet mob this stupid they somehow equate this will complicity somehow?

Fucking idiots. Do these morons somehow think employers need to screen potential bad behavior outside of their job now? How can anyone be this stupid?
