We're still handling this -- please direct emails to AMA@reddit.com -- and are in touch with the scheduled AMAs across the platform.

Pretty sure that you aren't handling this, by letting go of the employee who does handle this. The issue now is what everyone's going to do now that you aren't handling this.
It's a bit like knocking over someone's vase, then standing in position over it shouting "I can save it! I can save it!" Well, no. You already broke it. The only options now are to replace it or trash it.

Normally you don't replace competent and well-liked employees with a group of inept dolts.
But I guess that's the reddit way.

Holy shit you guys fucked up today:
1. Search function is a disaster, *after* the mods warned you about it.
2. Letting go of an employee is your business, perhaps the reason was legitimate too. Don't care. But the lack of any communication whatsoever towards the moderators not only shows massive disrespect towards the mods but towards the entire userbase.
Get your shit together please, you're entering "every man is responsible for his own soul' bullshit territory again.

How many employees are there currently handling this? Just wondering the size of your team.

Cool. Seriously though, and i know you were as blindsided as we were (probably) but please transition this better. Having it thrown at us out of the blue was, well, shit. Not yelling at you but at the situation.
