I'm going to get roasted for this, but even knowing HR is an advocate for capital / management, part of their job is removing some of the shittiest parts of sharing a workspace with bigots and bullies. Even if it is just to lower their liability exposure.
To whit : a (less than genius) dude posted on (coupla companies ago) corp chat app some shit about trans athletes in grade school, and I replied "as a trans person this feels threatening," and that shit was gone and I never heard from him again.
So they fired him without even giving him a warning? Sounds kinda excessive if you ask me. Like, sure, stuff like that doesn’t belong in the company chat app but losing your job over it seems a bit harsh.
Nah man there are certain things you don't fuck with. For all we know they did give him a talking to and his response to that is what got him fired.
I'm afraid without any further explanation from the OP we really don't know that.
