A Jewish GitHub employee was fired for warning co-workers in Slack to stay safe during the January 6th attack on the US Capitol

A Jewish GitHub employee has declined to take his job back after an offer from the company, GitHub told TechCrunch.

‘we offered the employee his job back immediately after reviewing the findings, and he declined,’ a GitHub spokesperson said. Github shared the same statement with the verge.

The terms of the resolution are unclear, but the employee had’previously told me he was seeking damages or some other form of reconciliation’.

About 200 of the company’s 1,700 employees signed an open letter asking the company for an explanation. Employees began using the word’stay safe homies, Nazis are about’ in Slack to describe the Capitol rioters.

Github CEO Nat Friedman admitted that’significant mistakes were made’ in an internal message to employees on January 16th. The company’s head of HR also resigned.
