‘I was blacklisted’ – sacked Wix employee says she lost her home after she was dismissed over anti-Israel comments

Courtney Carey: “People on social media told lies about me and said I supported terrorism”

Tech firm Wix has admitted unfairly dismissing an Irish worker who made social media posts criticising Israel and now feels she has been “blacklisted”.

Speaking following the hearing at Lansdowne House in Dublin 4 today, Ms Carey said: “Since what has happened to me I’ve found that in job interviews I am completely dismissed once they figure out what has happened, when they do background checks. I never hear anything back from any job applications.
