Got fired for posting on Reddit

Edit: THIS STORY MADE IT ONTO PHONE ARENA. although they didn’t even ask me about it.. haha https://www.phonearena.com/news/this-former-t-mobile-employee-learned-the-meaning-of-mess-around-and-find-out-the-hard-way_id168442 ——————————————————————————

Remember that post about Valentine’s Day promos I made on the evening of the 13th? Letting everyone know about the increase in promo amounts for magenta max??

Ya I got fired for that.

I was constantly the top performer in my district and had the most activations in the state for multiple months..

They fired me because I posted MAYBE 2 hours before the promo went live which they said was “releasing confidential information.”

EDIT:(FAQ’s) - yes this was the cited reason I was fired. - Yes I FAFO’d. - totally my fault and I don’t dispute it. - I didn’t realize it was confidential at the time, I (incorrectly) assumed it was already well known and I was just repeating the info. - yes my username is almost the same as my NTID. I have been using this username for years and years and never thought anything about it. - Also, even if I had a random user name: they definitely have people watching this page and working to figure out who is who. I haven’t posted my name or anything on here, but my other posts would have still given enough info for them to figure it out. - about a week before the firing I was asked about it by management. They made it sound like I was just getting a warning and that was it, but they needed a statement explaining why I did it. I, like a dumbass, admitted to everything in that statement. They used that as a confession to fire me. DONT EVER FILL OUT A STATEMENT ADMITTING YOU DID SOMETHING!!! - I already got a new job but would consider going back if they offered. I really loved my job a LOT. - DONT POST SHIT for worthless internet points. I am living proof of FAFO.
