(WJBK) - A social media representative for Chrysler is out of work after sending a message on Twitter that was deemed inappropriate. On Wednesday, a tweet on Chrysler's account ( @ChryslerAutos ) seemed to refer to the employee's rough drive to work. The tweet said, "I find it ironic that Detroit is known as the #motorcity and yet no one here knows how to (expletive) drive." The message was quickly removed from the account which has over 8,000 followers. But it didn't happen fast enough as it was retweeted numerous times across the social media website.
I see you Chrystler. Oldest trick in the twitter book, throw out some inappropriate or controversial tweets, gain a slew of new followers, and then retract the tweet and apologize. That's tweet game 101. Although I have no idea why it doesn't work nearly as well for The Alt-Tab (@thealttab). I throw out random and inappropriate tweets all day long. Just this morning I've tweeted twice about Chimpanzee genetalia related topics. Twice before lunch people!
Additionally, who the hell were the 8,000 morons following Chrystler before this "incident?" Chrystler has to be forcing it's employees to use the twitter, right? Part of your employment status must include having to follow the company so they can get their tweet game up. That's the only explanation, because I can't imagine anything interesting they'd possibly have to tweet about. "Sold another boat of a car to a lovely set of grandparents today" or "With those three sales we made nationwide this week we've staved off bankruptcy for another day!" Must be just a thrilling feed to follow.
Yes I assume any chance of Chrystler throwing me a 300 for promotional purposes is out the window, I'm ok with it.
