How did Matt Harrigan lose his job from Facebook? Big tech Companies such as Apple, the Microsoft και το Facebook επέλεξαν να διατηρήσουν την τάξη μετά την νίκη του Donald Trump in the American elections. So a CEO of a San Diego-based security company called PacketSled lost his job when he threatened to assassinate the newly elected Democratic president on Facebook.
Unfortunately his brash and aggressive behavior aimed at Donald Trump soon found its way onto Reddit and from there began appearing on various media informations, causing PacketSled to replace its CEO.
"I'm going to kill the president-elect," Matt Harrigan wrote on his personal Facebook page, adding many other adjectives.
When Harrigan saw the extent of his posts, he apologized in a post on the PacketSled website, downplaying the threats as a "joke."
The recently My comments on Facebook were a joke, in the context of a wider discussion, which was only private. Anyone who knows me knows that I do not participate in such rhetoric…. I apologize if you took something I said seriously, it was offensive, or it was a legitimate concern.
Best regards, Matt Harrigan
Harrigan's apology was removed from the PacketSled website and the company announced in its position that "the board of directors" accepted the resignation of President and CEO Matthew Harrigan, with immediate effect. "
"We want to be very clear: PacketSled does not tolerate comments made by Mr Harrigan that do not reflect the views or opinions of our company, our employees, our investors or our partners," the statement said.
