That's really bad form by Armstrong. For all he knew, the guy was taking a snapshot to post on the company blog as part of his job or something. Or maybe he was just checking his phone.
At the very least, if you fire somebody over that, you at least announce "no filming please" and fire him privately afterwards.
- mathattack 13y agoI doubt that there is any business reason for taking pictures of an execution. Armstrong would know if there was. He caught a leaker in the act. The question is how do you handle it? If you want to make an example, you do it on the spot. If you want to be professional, you tell him to put the camera down and do it later. If you refer to a part of the company as "loserville" then you're not too worried about appearing professional.

He was citing the press they were getting, or at least that's how I took the article. This is not the type of thing you announce on a public phone call (that people may get laid off) because all of your employees are now going to be job surfing irregardless of what division they are in.
