This didn't go so well for an ex-employee who, rather interestingly, decided to do an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on his time as an employee of Reddit, and his dismissal...on Reddit!

Essentially the CEO of Reddit stepped in and laid out the reasons as to why he'd been fired, and reminded him that he'd forfeited his non-disparagement agreement by mouthing off about his previous employer on a public forum.

Ouch! Harsh but fair?

Be interesting to see if he responds in the end or simply goes to lawsuit for mental anguish or similar!

Andehh
