It’s been a rough go of things at retail giant J.Crew, which had to laid off 175 employees last week in light of recent sales figures. While we can understand the relief those employees who were not let go must have felt, none of them took the news of not getting fired quite as joyfully as Alejandro Rhett, the VP of men’s merchandising (the side of the business that’s actually doing quite alright, all things considered). Alejandro posted photos to Instagram likening the layoffs to the Hunger Games, hashtagging things like "#maytheoddsbeeverinyourfavor" and other insensitive remarks. After his posts were even picked up for the cover of the New York Post, Rhett was reportedly fired, according to Fashion Week Daily. The brand released the following statement regarding the issue:

"We do not condone this behavior in any way. Individuals’ actions do not represent the culture of our company—this is not who we are. The tough decisions we made last week were not something we took lightly. We do our best to make decisions with care & compassion for all of our associates."

It should go without saying, but Instagramming even mildly dicey stuff when it comes to a bunch of co-workers, laid off or otherwise, is never advised.
