It's incredible what lengths people will go to experience a short high of moral superiority.
Trying to get a stranger fired over nothing is wild.
Given it's a person from a recruitment agency, I wonder if they intended to double dip, get the poor sap fired then try to both fill the new vacancy they created and help the poor sap they got fired land a new gig through them
Ah, so they’re self serving as well as being a narc? I hate recruitment consultants.
Recruitment agencies, and estate agents, two kinds of people that only exist because they've decided the job needs to exist rather than any explicit need, and then other people have decided to make use of their services, even though they're shit. So now we have to deal with them.
I rate estate agents slightly higher - not everyone wants to or can show people around their home. And I suppose they can help you navigate the legal parts of the process (I’m just guessing here, I’ve never owned property). But there is absolutely no need for recruitment agents for anything but the most niche situations. The job could disappear tomorrow and nothing would be lost.
I have my doubts whether they are from an agency at all
He had opinions and posted them on line. The audacity. We can't have drones thinking on their own.

Organized religion does this daily on a grand scale. The Golden Rule has been superceded by anger, fear, hate, and doubt.
I'm obviously generalizing but history shows again and again that religion no longer favors the meek and honest - it's all about how much money the church can grab.
Well, yeah... Jesus was super based. But then Constantine saw the writing on the wall, and rebranded the Roman belief system with a Jesus themed naming scheme before his armies started to understand the full scope of Jesus's teachings, which were a radical third path way of life that made followers useless to Rome and impossible to control
And remember how Rome collapsed, then the church turned into a soft empire for like a thousand years? Remember how they stood above the kings of Europe, dictating who could rule what, in what one might call an empire? Maybe something like the holy Roman empire?
Anyways, I could rant about this for ages, but tldr: Jesus was based, his name was stolen to create a new Roman religion that is in most ways the exact opposite of what he preached
The church has never favored the meed and honest. Every power structure is prone to corruption by self serving individuals.
I feel it's important to note that there are good churches out there if you use your common sense to discern if your pastor is legit, like the Bible says to.
