Looking for sysadm or auto electrical work, willing to tone down online rhetoric if it's a dealbreaker

Huh

Isn't the dealbreaker thing something that's already/not a dealbreaker?

Unless you're implying there are companies out there who don't really care about someone's online record as long as they keep quiet, which would be somewhat heartening.

I think there's a whole spectrum of employers out there, and it would be a self-destructive narrative to imagine otherwise.

Yeah, I'm with you, at least conceptually, which was why I unspooled that particular thread. At the very least, I certainly wouldn't hold it against a potential hire if they like to go hard in the paint online. Just haven't heard this particular story all that much though.

Used to be that we'd tell people that if the employer had a problem with you over something you said or did outside office hours, they weren't worth working for anyway. I'm sure there's plenty bosses that don't care as long as you don't show up to work with a nazi flag.

I'm hiring
