Any FB throwaway know if someone got fired for this?
- yalok 5y agoThe Bootcamp training at FB explicitly mentions that such things are not a fire-able offense - the attitude is around learning - if you managed to bring everything down, let’s learn together how you managed to do this… :)
- sydthrowaway 5y agoI don't think this is the case. Wasn't TechLead fired for SEV events?
- oversighzed 5y agoWhere did you hear that from? He doesn’t even say that in his video, he says he was fired for having side income on YouTube.
- sydthrowaway 5y agoSorry, I was thinking about the engineer who got PIPd and committed suicide.
- phreeza 5y agoI think it would be extremely unusual and counterproductive for someone in the trenches to get fired about this, as it is clearly a failure of procedure that this was even possible and so hard to recover from. Large companies I am aware of have a no-blame postmortem culture around this stuff. There may be people suffering consequences at a higher level in the SRE division, though I doubt this will happen in a timeframe of hours after the outage.

- bpodgursky 5y agoI heard rumors it was triggered by a PR auto-merge bot.
- reilly3000 5y agoThat bot is definitely getting fired.
- ridaj 5y agoIf it's the intern, talk about a learning moment
- albert_e 5y agoAn intern bringing Facebook.com properties down would be a learning moment for the company and for the world
