You say "few things get you fired immediately" but I'd say it depends. If you're at a big relatively stable company few things get you fired immediately. If the company is small or in flux (as Reddit appears to be) it can be a lot easier to be fired quickly.


But that doesn't change the logic of how stupid it would be to fire someone with so many loose ends and contacts depending on her.

An employee would need to commit some very serious transgression to justify the urgency, and the destruction that results from such abrupt removal.

"Disagreement about the general direction of a feature" isn't even close to meeting that standard. It was extremely irresponsible.
