After a probe found “significant errors of judgment and procedure” in the termination of the employee, GitHub’s head of human resources resigned, GitHub Chief Operating Officer Erica Brescia said on Sunday. "In light of these findings, we immediately reversed the decision to separate with the employee and are in communication with his representative," Brescia said in a blogGitHub, which is based in San Francisco, fired the unnamed employee on Jan. 8 but later engaged an outside investigator to conduct a probe after other employees complained about the action. The company has employees across the country, including in the Washington, D.C., area.

The Jan. 6 assault in Washington left five people dead as President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol building, trying to halt the certification by Congress of President-elect Joe Biden’s election win.Auschwitz was the Nazi death camp where about 1.1 million people, most of them Jews, were killed in gas chambers and by other means during World War Two.

Trump, who has challenged the validity of Biden’s victory without producing evidence, initially praised his supporters but later condemned the violence.

I don't care if there were no protests that day and the Boy Scouts were doing a food drive instead. I want to know why Nazi is a firable offense.

I thought “True Nazis” would have the swastika flying everywhere.... Do any of you see it? Cause I sure don’t. 🤷🏻‍♂️

No nazis were there.., so lying is a dismissal

The nazis killed 30% of the inhabitants of Belarus, how many people were killed by ethnicity in the Capitol?

Jewish employee explained who he calls Nazis? He named the representatives of the 'Aryan race' by name?

Damn. Even people at github knew.

Ohh so I see, when the left cause havoc and damage to private property it's fine but when the right do it they're Nazis. How about this if the left cause havoc like the right they're anarchists

Well, as long as the apologized. votewithyourdollar nomoreexcuses NeverAgain

A true apology would consist of his job back, a promotion and back pay. Or it does not count.

USEEOC I hope you'll have people start working on this on Wednesday afternoon.

Was the paragraph in this article explaining what Auschwitz was truly necessary? Are there readers who don’t know? That’s a problem.

Just look at all those socialist from ND.

What is their twitter handle?

Sue them biggly!

Nazi? It's so convenient to label on anything you dislike
