The post was just "no one at 343 deserves their job?" and they rescinded a job offer over that? It's certainly a bad thing to say, but I didn't think that would cost someone his job.
I went into this thread fully expecting that this dude wrote something on par with that sexist Google manifesto or said the N word, because something more egregious like that I could understand.
Not even sure what's the problem? You publicly trash all of your new colleagues? Yeesh. I guess we are in a toxic community."No one at 343 deserves their job". Well shit man that's...something.
You don't think that's a problem?
Job offers get rescinded all the time for a multitude of reasons. It's not "fucking his life over" it's just life.I'm sure many of those working at Bungie posted stuff at least as shitty as that while on the internet. Fucking this guy's life over one stupid comment is waaaaaay worse than what he wrote.

How do you read reddit, what should I be looking at, can someone post the comment?
Did he state that 343 was paying for his expense or anything? Not that it would have a bearing on their decision either way, but I don't think they knew what he was doing in his personal life around their offer.
Anyway, this definitely sucks but boy did he make one interesting comment. It's one thing to criticize certain aspects of a game, but saying "no one at this company deserves their job" is pretty unreasonable. Can't say I'm surprised they rescinded the offer based on that.
So whoever made the anonymous account on r/halo and posted screenshots of old posts, well...congrats!

His post was shitty, but so was 343's reaction. So this amounts to a pile of... shit.
I mean, come on, I don't think he ever really meant that. Welcome to the internet, a lot of the stuff people say here is hyperbole. Withdrawing the job offer after the guy has made all the efforts to adapt to his new (soon to be ex) job is awful.
Couldn't they test the waters? At least give him a chance to prove he's worth it?
Maybe even ask him to apologize to his fellow co-workers, addressing that specific post? A simple company-wide e-mail would have sufficed.
This is really petty on 343's part.
Here.
"just grow thicker skin" has never been a good argumentNightmare fuel situation.
Ridiculous reaction to common internet hyperbole made as a fan rather than as a professional. Only people totally disconnected from standard internet discourse could believe he actually meant that. Criticism online often has a weightless, hyperbolic quality to it. You need to be able to parse that. On top of which, they really should have found that stuff before hiring him.
Petty in the extreme.

I guess it really comes down to what he actually said. That Reddit link removed the comment screen shot so I couldn't read it, unfortunately.
Still, I feel bad for the guy.
Oh, it got removed a few seconds ago.
I'm not sure how mods think of linking it, but here it goes:

The Post in Question was exposed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/719vgo/arguably_the_best_forger_in_the_community_has/dn9w73c/
Yeah I wouldn't be totally shocked if other things came up in his background check.I saw a reputable GAF poster - not going to name names - that recently said this MultiLockon dude was known for making creepy personal attacks against other community forgers. If true then there's plenty more reasons for not getting the job and this dude is not talking about them.
Honestly, in this write-up he comes off as a pompous jackass that didn't need the job anyway but loooooooves Halo so much. Hey man, you act like an ass so you gotta deal with the consequences.
That would get you a job offer rescinded pretty much everywhere as far as legally possible
I mean, "no one at 343 deserves their job" is a pretty damn rude comment, so I guess it is understandable. Still, sucks to be in this transition.
Well that post was just removed.
Wow, the amount of people jumping on 343 is surprising (or maybe not). He made a disparaging comment about the employees currently at 343. That isn't a team player. I don't think any place would hire me if I said that, even if it's online.
Important Lesson: be aware of your digital footprint
He had accepted the offer and probably had everything scheduled. I assume he had to put in notice at his current job so there is a short limbo where you have the offer but nothing finalized. Not that it really matters even if he had already signed an employment contract he could have been let go regardless.So, let me get this straight:
1) He gets a job offer
2) Quit his old job
3) Sells his apartment and starts moving his belongings to the new place
4) 343 retracts their job offer because of old online stuff?
My question is: Who quits his old job without having first inked the new contract?
Really? That would give out more explanation about why he didn't get the job.I saw a reputable GAF poster - not going to name names - that recently said this MultiLockon dude was known for making creepy personal attacks against other community forgers.

Yeah given the current climate in the US I honestly expected said post to be a lot worse. Granted, I'm not trying to imply that what he did say wasn't bad
Absurd. This man's potential is through the roof. 343i is a special snowflake, who got their feelings hurt.

It was removed by a mod. It would say 'deleted' if the user did it himself.Fishy as fuck that the user removed that post
Oh no, someone said something mean about 343! Who cares about his talent and skill right?
And you guys wonder why Halo is in such a poor state. 343 only listens to positive comments and plug their ears for anything bad.
