> She's a professional snitch. I'd even say unprofessional. Not that it would make her any better, but if she'd been professional she'd taken it quietly to management or police and they could have ignored it edit: making it less embarrassing for them and less hurting for the colleague even if she was dumb. She is the kind of person who should make anyone feel uncomfortable at work. Who knows what else she doesn't like and will capture and post publicly on internet? BTW: this seriously reminds me about PyconGate where someone who had just posted a d#ck joke on Twitter herself got two others fired because she thought she overheard them saying something between themselves that could be construed as a similar joke.

She (Adria Richards) ended up getting fired herself, https://sendgrid.com/blog/a-difficult-situation/ https://sendgrid.com/blog/a-difficult-situation/. "What we do not support was how she reported the conduct. Her decision to tweet the comments and photographs of the people who made the comments crossed the line. Publicly shaming the offenders – and bystanders – was not the appropriate way to handle the situation" It was also pointed out she had previously made jokes about male genitalia on twitter (from her work account) a few days before, which obviously (in internet rules) makes her a hypocrite. I can't find her on linkedin (she probably is unemployable now)but there is a statement attributed to her after she was fired (https://allthingsd.com/20130327/fired-sendgrid-developer-evangelist-adria-richards-speaks-out/ https://allthingsd.com/20130327/fired-sendgrid-developer-eva...) Anyway, all of this is just leading to the point that we're going to need to find a new term, sort of like "peter and the wolf" where a person abuses the virality of social media, in combination with stereotyping, confirmation bias and willingly incorrect analysis of situations, to attempt to take down other people illegitimately. Oh wait. That's just cancelling cancel culture.
