I've been in and around tech a really long time. The sad fact is 95% of employees are easily replaceable. 80% are outright disposable with minimal hassle. If these employees were indispensable they wouldn't have been separated. Those 5% at the top were going to get poached regardless of this. Either by other companies, or by starting their own endeavors. The rest delude themselves into thinking they have security for *reasons*. Because the thought that they could have their livelihood severed within thirty minutes for no reason at all is pretty terrifying.
This will have zero consequences for Arenanet. Most of their customers won't even be aware of this. Employees get fired in every sector every day for the contents of their social media. Who you hire reflects on you as a business. What you say on social media reflects on you as a person. I don't feel bad for Jessica Price in the slightest. I do feel bad for Fries. I read his deleted tweets and his sin was trying to explain her behavior and head off a social media lynch mob. He didn't deserve to take a pitchfork over it. I believe he was fired because he was a man who violated the social media policy at the same time and the same way as the woman they were firing. If they were worried about further bad press or lawsuit they had to let him go.
This one is easy, easy, easy to kill.
