"ABEL, YOU'RE FIRED."
Brand under boil: AOL
Scene: Cafeteria at Patch’s
headquarters in Manhattan
Patch Who: AOL's local news
subsidiary
CEO under lens: Tim Armstrong
What really happened in the
cafeteria, filled with employees to hear Tim’s ‘I want to deliver a News’ kind
of speech.
News reports say that an employee
was trying to take a photo of his CEO. (I have no idea why he did that when his
CEO was blowing warm and hot)
Armstrong interrupted himself to
say, "Abel, put that camera down right now."
Then,
without taking a breath, he said, "Abel, you're fired."
The
silence that followed this shocking incident was deafening not just to the
employees at Patch but to the entire workforce!
It is good that CEOs are
transparent... but a transparent and public firing!????! I am finding it tough
to understand his over-the-top action even if he was in an irritable mood.
