FTA: "Publicly shaming the offenders – and bystanders – was not the appropriate way to handle the situation."
So you publicly fire your employee? You hypocrites!
If an employer decides it's necessary to let someone go because of a debacle like what's happened here, that's fine. But let the person go with dignity and respect, even if the person doesn't deserve it. If you publicly throw your employees under the bus, what does that say to your remaining employees?
All of us, and I mean ALL OF US have made mistakes like what Adria and Mr. Hank have done. But after the firestorm has died down and we're on to some other inane drama on the internet, these two people will be left struggling to make sense of why they were fired in such a publicly shaming way.
What a horrible mess.
- k-mcgrady 14y ago>> So you publicly fire your employee? You hypocrites! They didn't have a choice. The situation was being followed by the media and if they fired her privately it would be leaked and would give other people the opportunity to spin it. She publicly pulled her employer into the situation on Twitter - from that point on that had no choice but to make their position clear publicly.
- nilved 14y agoThey only fired her to stop the DDoS. If they didn't post it publicly, it wouldn't have made a difference.
