I'm highly suspicious of these kind of posts. They remind me of the old "Ask Alice" in the magazines, with all kinds of wild and outlandish questions to which there was always a "perfect" response.
I.e. I think they are made up situations for karma.
I agree. This post has so much visibility on Reddit and HN. The manager is openly discussing terminating the employee with strangers online. The situation and the details are so specific. If this is real, the employee is likely to find this post, or the HR department.
How does a qualified manager think this is at all okay?

Specifically, what is not "ok" (i.e., legal) about this?
I learned recently that there are services you can hire that will have actors call into your radio show, they even provide plot lines and scripts.
