Well, I'm sure glad I don't have to work tomorrow. I don't know how Reddit is going to fix this. Unless they have photographic evidence that Victoria was literally eating puppies alive, I don't think they're going to win the community back to their side.

I understand that if you're going to fire someone, you can't very well go around telling a bunch of people that you're about to do that. They still should have had a better plan in place to pick up the slack first.




Inevitably when you fire a competent person you are going to piss people off, even if you can adequately replace them.

People just don't like to see people that are clearly competent be fired. The reasons really don't matter to them. (and maybe they shouldn't?)
