Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo fires editor for appearing in a podcast, Cliff Bleszinski buts in

onionberry on 15 August 2015

fired because he was stupid or naive, or both. I can't go to a bar with my nursing uniform, it's stupid, but it's a rule.

He screwed up, he knows Nintendo is anal as hell. They are the worst of the big three at relations and collaboration. They are stuck in the past. He chose to work for them and signed a contract, so he should've known better.

This happens at any big company...



I'll say it again this time with spaces. Nin-ten-do.....is....the...themost...strin.gent....of...the...big..three.

Didn´t SONY fired thousands every year in the last 4 years? Didn´t Microsoft fired 7k weeks ago? It happens.

Didn´t Nintendo stood in 7th place among the "most desirable game companys to work for" survey from IGDA in 2014?
Right in front of Naughty Dog, Doublefine and Bethesda?

There was a list of wrong doings during the podcast. He was introduced as a Nintendo employee from the go, so not only he used his credentials to take part on a podcast, but to any unobservant listener, he was totally talking in name of the company. From there, he gave personal opinions about third party games, confidential financial information, called Sakurai a freak and even took a punch at fans that ask for localization.

He literally did everything common sense would advise against. It is actually hard to point what caused his dismissal.
- Was because he talked about confidential information?
- Because he bad talked about his boss?
- Because he bad talked about the fans?
- Because he presented himself as a Nintendo employee in a public situation without authorization? 

Finally, not only what he did was a obviously stupid decision, but we also don´t know how he was saw (by his manager) before that. Maybe that was just the last drop. I actually find unbelievable that people are giving so much attention to this. The guy is young, healthy, graduated. He will be fine, life goes on.

No, most good companies would just warn you.


Have you ever worked for a company of this nature?


Have I ever worked for a bad company?

So you stopped reading in the first line? What about the rest? He did not commit 1 mistake, but a whole list of them.

Most companies will not fire you straight away if the breach isn't to damaging. They will give you the option to save face and walk away (i.e. so you remain employable) within the next couple weeks. If you ignore it then they wll fire you. I have seen many people at my previous companies just suddenly walk away because of such incidents. One guy didn't take the hint and was escorted out. 

 

No, most good companies would just warn you.

they do when you sign a contract to work for them.

No surprise that the people who never post anything positive about Nintendo is defending this guy. like clockwork.
