It is the part of the CEO that really gets me. Was the employee in the wrong? Certainly. But the way the CEO handled this is just god awful.
When you see a pissed of shopper going off on a sales person, the sales person knows they have to stay calm and must not reply with the same kind of attitude that they are met with. Because whatever they say may reflect negatively on the company.
You would think a CEO would also know how to do that. So now I know that the CEO of reddit is a bad example of a CEO. No professionalism to speak of and has no problem getting petty in public just cause he is personally pissed of. With all that money he recently received he should think about taking some PR or general management classes in order to learn how to handle things like this cause he is clearly as incompetent in that area as he accuses this ex employee to be in the area he was hired in.
