The dean of my college as well as the marketing director and provost tracked me down, linked my post history to the employee directory, and shared my Reddit account with a large group. I was terminated for sharing internal meeting notes in r/ASU and they never even confirmed with me that it was actually me. Laid me off during a pandemic but put “without cause” on my termination letter so I couldn’t fight them. Also threatened to kick me out of my grad program if I tried to appeal or take it to an attorney for wrongful termination. The whole mess soured my entire view of ASU and they will be getting exactly $0 from me after I graduate.
The whole “I was posting anonymously” thing doesn’t really work because they can fire anyone for anything they want as long as its not discriminatory or retaliation.
