In early 2016, a young woman who goes by the name of Talia Jane wrote an open letter to her employer, Yelp, describing her situation as a college graduate working for a minimum wage salary in the company headquarter's very expensive city. She was fired shortly thereafter, although the company claimed her dismissal was unrelated to the letter. The incident sparked a flurry of discussions online about labor laws, the expectations of young people, career prospects in today's tech market, and the increasing gentrification of high-technology hubs. Several of these discussions centered around response letters, such as this one by Sara Lynn Michener, (Links to an external site.) who also links to the original and a widely circulated response. Given the highly controversial nature of Talia Jane's letter, it went viral on social media platforms, especially Twitter. The letter aroused the ire of many users who accused her of playing the victim and seeking attention as a young woman. There were a number of hostile and obscene tweets directed at her, and at least one enterprising Twitter user sought out and publicly posted her home address and phone number.
