I am curious what you make of this portion of the response in particular:
"A SendGrid developer evangelist’s responsibility is to build and strengthen our Developer Community across the globe. In light of the events over the last 48+ hours, it has become obvious that her actions have strongly divided the same community she was supposed to unite. As a result, she can no longer be effective in her role at SendGrid."
- jerrya 14y agoI consider that to be fluff and nonsense. 48 hours is not the right interval to be making that judgment. And firing her in response to correct the situation was about the worse and most extreme of actions. (And please note, I think Richards made a mistake and showed terrible judgment.)
- jlgreco 14y agoIn the sense that you don't think it was a valid conclusion, or in the sense that given that conclusion, it was a nonsense reason to fire her? This aspect of the situation seems exceedingly clear to me.
- jerrya 14y agoI don't think it was a valid conclusion, and I think the CEO had other actions he could take that would be better for everyone involved.
