Some people are just plain stupid, like this student from Chandler-Gilbert Community College in Arizona, who was dumb enough to post a racist tweet while interning for a huge local company.
Great idea, Erika! Be prepared to have a floodgate of prospective employers after you!
While meandering through a cotton field with her friend, the 20-year-old student took a few screengrabs and tweeted out this heartfelt message:
Smart.
The Spanish linguistics major said that it was meant to be a joke, but as we can all attest to, nothing ever dies in the hands of Twitter.
According to The Daily Mail,
A screen grab of the tweet she sent began circulating all over social media, so she decided to contact her supervisor’s at Isagneix, where she was a paid intern, to notify them of what happened.
‘We were shocked when we saw, it’s not what you would expect,’ Kevin Snyder, a representative for the company that makes health and wellness products, told KSAZ.
‘When I looked at it, I immediately knew we had to make a swift action. It was unanimous, it is a complete conflict of who we are, and what we stand for as a company, so within roughly two hours we ended our employment with her.’
The company later tweeted out an apology on Erika’s behalf, then hid their faces in shame for hiring someone with no more than half a brain cell.
