I suspect that long-term outcomes vary with the offense and whether criminal activity is involved. Justine Sacco was an exec who lost her job over a dumb/offensive social media post. > **[PR officer loses job over racist twitter comment](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-25484537)** > > US public relations executive Justine Sacco loses her job with the media company IAC, after tweeting a racist message about Aids in Africa. She seems to have overcome the fallout. > **[Match Group’s Justine Sacco joins Flo Health as chief communications officer](https://www.prweek.com/article/1932150/match-groups-justine-sacco-joins-flo-health-chief-communications-officer)** > > Sacco has served as CCO for Match Group’s portfolio of dating apps since 2018. Getting drunk and attacking restaurant staff, then continuing an assault outside might be harder to overlook, especially if employers decide the incident reflects deeper issues.
