schestowitz[TR3]Preface: I have no idea of the details, and if the title is true.Jul 15 03:05
schestowitz[TR3]It seems that law enforcement right now sees no reason to do anything about this guy, neither in his home country nor in France (where the Debconf is). Entering France seems to be fine too. And it seems that Canonical employs, and sees no reason to fire, him.Jul 15 03:05
schestowitz[TR3]So let me tell you, many pople (especially outside of the US) don't subscribe to this lynch mob / cancel culture mindset. If Canonical sends an employee there to talk about some technical things, and the state of France is fine with him walking around freely, he can. It's not the task of the conference organizers to research and judge the whole past of each person there.Jul 15 03:05
schestowitz[TR3]And its not up to you to restrict what he can do. If you have a real-world problem, complain to law enforcement.Jul 15 03:05

schestowitz[TR3]In your opinion, what do you think should happen to people who serve sentences for violent crimes they've committed? Permanent exile? Prohibition from work or public appearance? I'm just asking. I don't think any of those are very useful. They don't prevent people from committing violent crime, they don't prevent people from reoffending. You mention in another comment that this person has since been fired, but what betterment does Jul 15 03:06
schestowitz[TR3]society actually receive from that?Jul 15 03:06
schestowitz[TR3]I think organizations should be able to remove their members for a wide array of reasons, but your post doesn't offer much in the way of reasoning for why that would have been effective here.Jul 15 03:06

schestowitz[TR3]What is the severance package for an employee with 19 years of service?Jul 15 17:04
schestowitz[TR3]I heard it is only a couple of months of pay and health benefits? After that, COBRA is the only option, and it is not cheap.Jul 15 17:04
schestowitz[TR3]"Jul 15 17:04
schestowitz[TR3]"Jul 15 17:04
schestowitz[TR3]I heard it is 9 months for a 20-year employee, I would assume it is a bit less for folks in the 15-19 years…Jul 15 17:04
