> The missing context in this article is that two trans employees were suspended for attending a zoom meeting they were linked to by a director

Were they invited to the meeting, or did they just acquire a link? Just because I find your conference call number doesn't give me any inherent right to sit in on it.

Can you imagine being suspended for simply entering the wrong call at the meeting's start?

I'd be extra-shocked if something like that happened at my workplace, which is similar in size to Netflix.

Regardless, since you asked, Netflix backpedalled and reinstated her in writing. https://twitter.com/RainofTerra/status/1448097310026747908

Speaking for myself, when a director who is also attending a meeting sends me a zoom link, that's an invitation to attend.

Edit: More context, it was just a friggin stream: https://twitter.com/RainofTerra/status/1449667391865044994

The person suspended (and then reinstated) intentionally crashed the meeting, and the person let go, leaked the amount paid to David for the special, which is the #1 no no at Netflix, given their business works primarily on information asymmetry. It’s the one thing you definitely shouldn’t do at Netflix, and they knew that.

s/intentionally crashed the meeting/clicked on a streaming link sent to them by a director that was attended by 1000s of people/

If you want to back up your claim of 'crashing', please cite something other than Netflix PR's quote to journalists before the reinstatement letter.
