Adria Richards, Probably The Best, Most Justified Firing Ever

Adria Richards, who lives a public professional life--or did up until recently--fucked up bigtime.  Getting offended about something that was in all probability not that big of a deal--and certainly could have been handled with a shit ton more grace and cleverness--and then making an unhinged public stink about it turns out to be a really bad career move.  Apparently this is Ms. Richards' first few weeks on our planet because she never, ever learned how to properly deal with assclowns, dipshits, and douchebags.  I, for one, am gratified completely understand that her employer had the intelligence came to realize that she had become, and probably perhaps always was, a toxic element in their organization.  She may have been completely justified in being offended or pissed off or whatever, but as soon as she went fucking apeshit over it in public, she became a liability to SendGrid.  Now she is getting a bunch of kinda kooky support out on the interwebs, but what is generally not acknowledged is that Ms. Richards had a job that requires her to interact with customers, vendors, developers, and peers, sometimes in public, and she displayed an outrageous lack of good judgement.  Who would want to talk to her now?  Who would want to be anywhere near her in a professional capacity?  She published a photo to Twitter potentially defaming a couple of dweebs who may or may not have been acting like shitheads, for gods's sakes.  Who is that fucking crazy?  She did manage to get one of those poor fucks fired, which sucks for that guy, and her explanations and rationalizations make her sound like an asshole.  If you don't have the judgement or skills to be a truck driver and keep running over Hyundais, or you don't have the skills or judgement to be a chemical engineer and keep causing explosions, you are not gonna last long in that job.  Well, Adria Richards flattened a Hyundai and got fired for it.  She didn't even have the grace to apologize.  It also sucks for her to lose her job, of course, but she made a huge mistake.  Had she come out and at least tried to walk it back as vigorously--and publicly!--as she did in creating the whole mess, maybe she could have come out looking like someone with whom you would actually want to interact professionally.  This is not really important beyond second-level dweebdom and shallow, identity-based interwebs bitching, but it is also a sad example of how generally useless our culture is.

Update: Welfare academia, along with many others, check in way late with nothing useful to say, most likely willfully missing the fucking point, though more than a few of the commenters got to the pith.
