View submission: /r/IAmA set to private over mod firing
Yeah that was maybe not even in the top 5 most disastrous ama's, it doesn't seem on the face of it that there was anything she could've done about that and don't people usually work through a period after they're leaving or have an announcement at least. This looks weird as hell and karmanaht seems genuinely hurt aswell.
Has reddit 'let go' other high profile employees lately?
Edit: somebody on voat (yeah I know) says
I can confirm that the guests were not given a heads-up about this either. Talked to Paul Elio last night and everything seemed golden for the AMA today. This seems to have come out of nowhere.
and karmanaut says
It's not a matter of brinksmanship, it's that we honestly can't function the same way without Victoria. They knocked down a load-bearing wall in the House of /r/IAmA
What is going on here?

Are you sure it wasn't a defensive wall??? Like a ... rampart?

Some admins didn't make the move to San Fran and were let go for it. Victoria is in New York. Might be as simple as that. If so, Reddit is dumber than I thought. Ellen Pao has been a disaster. I'm starting to believe the theory that she was hired in order to sabotage the company.

Yeah, most of his posts are in the positive. There are lots of high profile AMAs that have ended up worse.

I don't think we have enough information to speculate, for all we know it could have been justified (though /u/chooter seems to do a great job as far as I can tell).
