This is a topic that 1) hacker news commenters can't resist and 2) is totally inappropriate for hacker news. Hence the flags. Someone getting fired or disciplined at a big tech company always attracts comments here, not always good ones.

I hope people mostly don't hold my bad comments against me for too long, and I try to do the same for them.
