@Aura: When I say "this pedophilia nonsense is irrelevant", I essentially meant that it should have been irrelevant, or at least a very minor part of the discussion to highlight her lack of professionalism, not to state that she was a danger to children and an abominable human being.

However, you can't make that conclusion with absolute certainty. The NoA supervisory line's reaction to Jamie Walton's inquiry was very serious. It wasn't something like, "Thank you for reaching out to us. We'll address this with our employee."; it was "We will handle this IMMEDIATELY. Unacceptable." That kind of response strongly implies that she might have violated a certain clause in their contract or goes against Nintendo's philosphy. Whether you agree with that or not doesn't matter because Nintendo has the right to adhere to certain values and if an employee acts contrary to those values, the company will not tolerate that.

Also, it's my understanding that in Washington, it's an 'At Will' State:

At-will employment is a term used in U.S. labor law for contractual relationships in which an employee can be dismissed by an employer for any reason (that is, without having to establish "just cause" for termination), and without warning.
