We don't talk about specific employees
At least not anymore...

To be fair, his epic smack down of that former employee who sucked at his job then posted an AMA bashing reddit was pure gold
Edit: I can't tell my reddit admins apart

Can't wait to see how they cover their ass on this one.
First the FPH people got mad, and now everyone else is mad.
Reddit admins have pissed everyone off.

to play devil's advocate...
what if Victoria did something really bad, which put them in a spot where they had no choice but to fire her immediately? what if all this suddenness and secrecy has been the reddit staff throwing themselves on the sword to avoid Victoria's reputation being ruined, so she's able to find a new job soon?
for example, maybe she broke an NDA or something, and the only legally safe thing to do was to let her go. going out and telling the world "victoria broke an NDA" would royally fuck up her chances of getting a new job, so the staff decided to be bros and keep it on the DL.
perhaps the sudden departure of victoria was no one's fault but her own. in my career, most of the time when an employee is fired without a replacement already on hand and without a few weeks' notice, it's because they did something really, really bad and the company had no choice. who's to say that's not the case here?

Unless they show up trying to bash read it and then they get the SmackDown when the admins show up and point out everything that they said is false
