I guarantee the person in question is lying. I was a playtester at their Redmond, WA facility for over a year and they take things like tweets with ANY information about the game deadly serious. You sign over a 100 page NDA before you even walk through the first set of doors stating that any social media posts about ANYTHING involving a game for up to 2 years after it's release is subject to termination and possible legal action taken. They also do not possess a single space in any of the 4 buildings on campus to house "hundreds of employees" at once. At most, the conference rooms hold 50-75 people comfortably. The "red badge culture" is a real thing but most of those individuals have done a great deal of work and put in loads of effort to get those positions on the testing side. There are also blue and gold badges and the absence of those in the story is further proof that the individual in question does not have enough experience at the company to be so self important as to assume they were fired because they asked a "tough" question. They can downsize on a project at any given time and if you haven't been meeting expectations or doing the bare minimum of what they ask, which by the way is very easy to do, you are the first one let go when things change. I've seen people walked out of the building for accidentally putting their 3ds in their pocket when they stand up, as you would your personal device. I've also witnessed people get sued for taking their 3ds.into the bathroom to take pictures and send them to friends and relatives.
