The termination of Victoria Taylor set off a firestorm among community members at the popular online forum, Reddit.

The media firestorm ignited because an employee that was extremely popular and valuable to the online community was terminated and no information was shared with the community.

In retrospect, the company should have graciously provided Taylor a termination package allowing for her to exit gracefully, peacefully and allow the community members to adapt to the change. Unfortunately, Reddit didn’t understand the importance or power of Taylor. You probably don’t know who is a trust agent or linchpin for your own company.
