I'm of two minds on this

1. that boss seems to be a jerk , his comments are inappropriate

but

2. You represent your employer, you take it into your own hands when you post immature "jokes" aboutwork publicly. I know a lot of people who would be reprimanded for this but that hardly matters as they are too professional to say it

Could you imagine Paul Ryan posting it for example?

It's a bad idea to 'make jokes' or controversial opinions publicly without considering who you represent when you do so

2.5. Firing people is hard. Anyone who thinks you just yell 'you're fired!' and they dont come in tomorrow had never fired anyone before. Its time and effort and you need cause + have to deal with the headache of the guy kicking off

that + the casual tone of the texts makes me think there is history and this Is a final straw situation rather than the sole cause

if anyone ever tells you that they were fired "for being 3 minutes late" they were actually fired because they suck

Believe it or not you cant fire someone for being shit, you need reasons

I've had to more than once to sanction and ultimately fire people over petty shit just because they were utterly useless at their jobs

tl;dr everybody Is wrong
