He's complaining that everything that was located in his apple maps as a grocery store was a corner store that didn't sell actual groceries but some packaged food and junk food. He gats fired for satirizing Apple maps basically but they take it as insulting the corner stores --and even if he were, so what?
What kind of BS world do we live in where bosses give a shit what you think of the grocery store or corner store down the block?

they don't care about that. they do care if you go on social media and make an ass of yourself by mocking people who are less fortunate, damaging the hard work of everyone else in the company by sullying its brand.
Outreach doesn't explicitly state the reason he was terminated. There are a number of tweets suggesting it wasn't the bodegas video. It's certainly not a good look, but this title is jumping to conclusions.
I really seems like this is about to become a pile-on against a company's actions based on a single tweet, showing one side of a story.
Even half-way through that one video he makes a comment/accent that (while I have really no context around) feels like a racial mockery, and some cursory reading shows that the same account had other posts (homophobic context, "buying NAACP shirt so these people [Black people] vibe with me more", etc).
Is firing someone too far? Perhaps. But this really doesn't seem like someone getting fired for a comment about bodegas.
I think I'm missing all of the context. Who is this person? How do we know he was fired (or worked for the company)? All we have here is a video of someone talking to camera and no other information. And yes, I did search, and the only results I found were right here on HN.
Well... The account didnt get someone fired. The video the person posted online did. Someone just brought it to their attention and it seems like they were a pretty junior employee that was easy to lose.

It's a direct reply to the tweet. Not enough?

I'm not saying the firing was deserved. Just that the headline is clearly misleading.
