- antihero 14y agoAm I the only person that really doesn't see the problem here?
- jtms 14y agoI also REALLY don't see a problem with this... I would have given him a raise and more work to outsource rather than giving the boot.
- roozbeh18 14y agohahaaa
- ramy_d 14y agoNo one talked about whether he lied about his skills and the quality of work he oversaw.
- roozbeh18 14y agohe is probably over qualified old man
- flyinRyan 14y agoProblem: he didn't have a manager title. If he did, he would probably have been promoted.
- GFischer 14y agoThe problem is, he violated the company's trust by sending sensitive information to unauthorized third parties.
- AnIrishDuck 14y agoBingo. He also most likely exposed additional valuable and proprietary IP to a third party that a) has no formal business relationship with the company and b) operates in a country notorious for IP theft. Firing him is a no-brainer here, if this story is even true. EDIT: he also opened a large portion of the company's codebase to potential sabotage. If I was in Company X's shoes right now I'd be doing a full audit of everything this joker has touched since he started, in addition to a full internal security audit of everything this mystery third party had access to. This kind of security breach is a Big Deal.
- dalore 14y agoBut he would have had those companies sign an NDA (in theory) so they are in effect umbrella'd into his.
- justinhj 14y agoIf ndas worked that way there'd be no point in ndas.
- headbiznatch 14y agoSeriously. Managing Chinese contractors is hard work!
- ericcumbee 14y agonot a lawyer, but you could probably make a case for fraud.
