I would like to say no, because the admin in question very likely lied about her background, and you'd think that would be enough to get someone fired once it leaks out. In any event, her background would seem to make her unfit for a job as Reddit admin.
The fact that Reddit had to have known about her background no later than 3/9, when special protections were put in place, complicates this.
It's possible that they were just taking time to get their (legal) ducks in a row before firing her. I've seen that happen, where a coworker who was creeping on younger female coworkers had his desk moved, and was only let go a month later.
Or maybe Reddit thought it was a great idea to have her as an employee given her background, and only fired her when it became a big deal. In that case it would be a cancellation.
- pseudalopex 6y agoWhy is it very likely she lied? It sounds like they put the same protections in place for other people. Reddit job descriptions promise pseudonymity protection too.[1] [1] http://web.archive.org/web/20210325002519/https://boards.greenhouse.io/reddit/jobs/3005811 http://web.archive.org/web/20210325002519/https://boards.gre...
- Uhhrrr 6y agoI say that because you would think a community site would have some sort of filtering process for predators and their enablers, and the Reddit statement says their vetting failed. But I don't know.
- pseudalopex 6y agoI think they just mean they didn't Google her. An organization vetted me to work with children. No one asked about my parents or people I hired.
