"But if they do show up, perhaps they can be put to work programming Skype Translator to produce a less cringy version of how kids today speak"

Cring(e)y is an example of how 'kids' today speak. For whatever reason this portmanteau is now being used more frequently than cringeworthy.

This response chain seems much more interesting https://twitter.com/savantdotwtf/status/750781065518731264

The entire situation is ridiculous, but Mitchel's response probably won't go over well with his employer.

I work at microsoft and honestly the Mitchel guy seems unhinged. I saw him posting every 15 minutes on our internal Yammer today about this. He ranted a lot about how people at HR plotted against him in the past. Honestly his autism might get him fired because he took it way too far.
