I am flabbergasted by people saying this is petty. Like are you guys real people with real jobs?
Have all you people seriously never badmouthed your employer or coworkers ever? Not one everyone I work with are morons or I hope they get fired or anything?

Keep in mind this was a flyby post on steam, not some public service announcement on the front page of a magazine. Its the internet equivalent of venting to a friend at the bus stop where a coworker might overhear you. Such statements are rarely anywhere near serious as well, and that should be obvious. It takes some real petty assholes to take it so seriously you fuck the person over completely for it. Maybe go hey, please dont say that, maybe apologize instead of turning it into a fuckin controversy that benefits nobody.
Yes, and I was blacklisted from the company that took over after I quite because of were brought over to the new company. Some of my criticisms were valid, but in their defense I was being an immature prick about it too.Have all you people seriously never badmouthed your employer or coworkers ever? Not one ”everyone I work with are morons" or ”I hope they get fired" or anything?

With how bad Halo 4 and 5 are, gotta agree with his opinion that no one at 343 deserves a job tbh.
It's definitely fair dismissal. Even moreso if he posted that after applying, which is likely given how recent it is and how drawn out Microsoft's recruitment process is.Except you can claim unfair dismissal which anyone would in the guys circumstances.
something i learned today, Halo forge ( also forging (?) is a thing? did not know it existed.
100% justified reaction. I cant believe people are criticizing 343 over this. Lesson here is watch what you say because sometimes the shit you talk comes back to bite you in the ass.

I don't agree with 343 on a lot of things, but I do here. "Noone at 343 deserves their jobs" is just a shitty thing to say.

Thank fuck I live in the UK, that shit doesn't fly here. All terminations need to be justified and if you show a forum post as tame as that you'll be laughed out the courtroom.
Colleges should teach social media reputation management classes.
The termination seems justified culturally. He threw his future coworkers under the bus.
You didn't know Forge existed? It's been around since Halo 3.
very petty that 343 used this against him. dude obviously has passion for the franchise and probably would have been an asset.
also, the person who went out of their way to find that post is a piece of shit.
1 dumb post, probably written in the heat of the moment vs years of dedication and creating quality content
If it was something hateful I could understand their reaction, but deyning him job over something as petty as this? L O O O O O L
Besides, it's no secret that the series took a turn for the worse since Halo 4.
Seems like 343 is really against good PR. Putting feelings over talent, no wonder the games aren't getting any better.

Go write one dumb post on your facebook page that shit talks the company you work for, and make sure your boss finds it. Find out what happens.

Why does criticism need to be constructive? Did he know that 343i would be reading his posts? He is just venting online.
Do you post impressions of games here thinking developers might read them? Of course not. that would be silly. you post your impressions, your rants, for the forum members... not for some random dev might come in and take notes one day. If they do, they should ignore that post and use other more valid criticisms instead.
at the end of the day, its just a silly thing for him to say. it doesnt mean anything. if they had any sense of humor, they would poke fun at him, embarrass him a little and move on.but they got butthurt and decided a guy they felt worthy of a level designer job was no longer worthy because he once got angry and posted an innocuous post on the internet.

Personally I feel like it's kind of different if you already work there. At that point it becomes a lot more personal because you actually know the people working thereGo write one dumb post on your facebook page that shit talks the company you work for, and make sure your boss finds it.

So is your username ironic or....With how bad Halo 4 and 5 are, gotta agree with his opinion that no one at 343 deserves a job tbh.

Is that all his offer was rescinded for?
I was expecting death threats, if not at least a "I wish so and so would die".
