For those saying something along the lines of "should we expect a massive reaction every time a few people get upset?" - just look at the UK and the Nazi pug story [1]. It seems as though a mass of outraged people on social media can have very real life consequences as there's no evidence for it stopping anytime soon.
Personally I think this is more towards a vigilante mob culture and in most cases it's counterproductive to throw people under the bus. The real failure here was Marriott failing to envision somebody one day accidentally pressing a button in "error" (at least to cause negative PR). They've set a dangerous standard for themselves that large negative PR should result in job losses.
