If that joke was made without rebuke by anyone in the group means it was a common occurrence. If it was your boss and you didn't notify hr still means you are okay with such a joke so. The decision to let go the whole group was the correct call. Lax enforcement of rules usually results in making rules worthless

So failure to report a digression is an equal digression. I'm looking forward to minimum report quotas and "report your coworker" special days.

  I think failure to report digressions of severe enough circumstances are digressions. Eg. calling people "bitches" much to laughter in the workplace isn't acceptable. If it ever got out to the media, a glassdoor review, etc. that the company did nothing to a whole department laughing and calling people "bitches" the company would be in major, expensive shit. Trying to take it further ("report days"?) seems like a slippery slope fallacy to me.

    I agree it isn't acceptable, and I agree there should be cases where reports should be mandatory. But I'd place that line far into the criminal realm.

  When it's against a legally protected class and opens up the company to liability, it is rational to fire an employee for not reporting it. Safety violations are taken that seriously at some companies, anyone observing one that doesn't report it also gets fired. It depends on what type of culture of accountability the company wants.

what if they were waiting until Monday to make that report giving it the weekend to think on the best course of action rather than making a knee jerk reaction?

One thing I noticed about some corps, they don't fire so much as 'prune'. They'll decide that some branch of the organization is rotten and they'll prune it. Pruning has the advantage that whatever the negative behavior is it leaves with the offending group. Advice if you work at a place like that and find you're under a bad boss or your coworkers are assholes you need to transfer out. Otherwise eventually you'll get made redundant with the rest of them.
