  Do you mean she got caught stealing? No. Just stupid startup bosses having to fire half their staff because they had to fly Europe to New York like every two weeks and buy new macbooks when they left theirs at the airport, among other things.

    Oh I was forgetting that op might live in a country with shit labour laws.

    Where I am that kind of firing they need to be pretty confident you’ve been stealing or you fucked up real bad and got caught trying to cover it up rather than owning it so it can get mitigated.

      No, we have fairly good labor laws in Germany. There aren’t that many reasons why you could fire an employee legally – economic situation of the company being one – and I think they knew that argument was debatable. I think they just wanted to be on the safe side legally, and more importantly, they wanted to intimidate to dissuade people from suing for wrongful termination.
