A quote from the Business Insider article linked to in this thread:
This source tells us that Lenz always took photos at Patch
all-hands meetings. He would later post them to Patch's
internal news site.
There isn't enough background to understand why this happened. AOL may have a clause in their employee contracts that makes picture taking at certain meetings a "firing offense". The source says that Lenz "always took photos", but it's possible that Lenz might have been warned not to take any more photos at meetings. Lenz's silence about the matter is also ambiguous.
Nevertheless it is odd that an employee was fired for taking pictures of a meeting when the audio was leaked to the media.
- wikiburner 13y agoHis silence could easily have something to do with a non-disparagement clause in his severance. I'm sure they are giving him a decent one (assuming this whole situation can be taken at face value) in order to mitigate this wave of bad press.
- Shank 13y agoI kinda wonder if the silence was a "shock and awe" one or if the call was muted or something on their end. I don't see why that wouldn't warrant at least a small reaction that would be audible over the call.
