Uh huh...as long as they will hire unemployed people who appear to be more professional and articulate than they are (even if the people have bachelors, masters, J.D.s, and/or PhDs).

That's the manager's decision. You never know why they did this, maybe they were looking at having to cut everyone's hours back vs. letting someone go or there was a record of malfeasance on her part. The article doesn't, unfortunately, make us privy to her history with that employer or that employer's particular situation.

^^Reaching too far.

Regardless, the bottom line is...

Sending something like that over Facebook is tacky and cowardly as hell.
