Sigh. The internet can be a dark place. She overreacts, people get fired, internet bullying and threats, now she gets fired. I feel a net karma loss for everyone involved.
Let's hope this never happens again...

#14So glad this dumb hole got what she deserved. Now hopefully the original guys get rehired and the karma will balance out.

#15I wonder if you could re-create this whole debacle in 3 months with fake people; you could use your post-mortem to tell people that you faked them out and announce your startup PR firm.

#17While we generally are sensitive and confidential with respect to employee matters, the situation has taken on a public nature.... As we continue to process the vast amount of information,...

#18This is just an "Eye for an Eye makes the whole world blind" over and over again.
Don't we all have more important things to do than watch fools tweet pictures and sip the corporate koolaid.
The best thing in the world that could happen right now would be for Adria and the two gentlemen from PyCon to start a company together. Why? Because it would be the biggest PR story around, they'd get great traction; all they need is an idea!!
But in all due seriousness; who works in HR at these companies? I would be expecting a lawsuit if I were SendGrid and perhaps rightfully so.
