God this is awful also. Nobody should have been fired.

Someone made an inappropriate joke at too high of a volume.

Somebody else felt uncomfortable and made a mistake in their reaction.

People make mistakes. Couldn't SendGrid have offered the guy a job and apologized profusely.

You could argue that her job is to be an advocate for SendGrid, and this incident has done the opposite. But I assume she was just fired so the ddos would go away.

Also announcing it on Facebook is brutal, even though they may have had no other choice.
