Posting "thanks" as you is not something to be offended over. It's poor form socially, and that's about it. You're upset that you got fired, and you're over reacting to something that isn't a big deal.
I'd encourage you to delete this, since it contains an alias you apparently also use as your email and can therefore be easily linked to you. You don't want this to be something prospective future employers see.
- javajosh 4y agoI think that's a reasonable take, TBH. But for a moment consider the missed opportunity here. I'm about to be persona non grata, and its my final farewell. Am I going to limit myself to "Thanks"? No. I want to say something wise and profound, something to lift spirits. Because I'm egotistical enough to think I'm worth a damn, my team likes me, and the company really is going to be worse off without me. In my case, a major refactor went wrong, and I believe that failure is largely my responsibility. Perhaps this means they were right to let me go. But they were wrong to shorten the timeline after promising 2 weeks. Despite my failure I did exert myself and attempt to achieve the goal. We did a good post mortem today - until it was cut short by a remote reset of my laptop. Therefore, I just want two things: 1. Payment through 1/20 as originally promised. 2. Passage of a law prohibiting employers from impersonating employees. Also, see my "primary response" : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34362583 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34362583
