This is another one of those "I got fired but I won't tell you why" posts. There was another post on here not too long ago about a guy, who for very vague reasons, got fired from Google. I don't understand why you wouldn't disclose why you got fired if you are going to write a post about how you feel after getting fired. It doesn't help anyone else because we don't know what mistake you made that we should avoid. It ends up feeling like the post is very one sided and IMO discredits the presented "feelings". My 2 cents for you. :-) *edited: spelling

He wrote "I won't go into what it was to protect my identity and that of all involved." So the person thinks it would be easy for Facebook or his former coworkers to identify the case if he told us what specific policy violation (s)he was fired for.

  He thinks it would be easy to identify him from the cause, even though according to the post many people in the company do it routinely

    ...is easy to identify him BECAUSE he was fired. A lot of people are caught jaywalking, but only a handful are fined.

      But if it is jaywalking (s)he has no reason to be worried about being identified.

  I assume that FB calls "jaywalking" a specific kind of policy violation so I think his/her boss could still identify anon. I still think there is a lot of value to his post since the question was "What does it feel like to be fired from Facebook?" not why. The reason why anon was fired is secondary.

I read it more as a log of the process rather than a call to judge. Human nature is to want to know "did he deserve it", but read as a tale of process that info isn't necessary.
