I get it. I've passed up hiring people because their previous employers couldn't mention why someone was let go and I've been unable to tell people why we fired the last two chuckleschmucks due to privacy laws, but sometimes you have to accept that we are not entitled to every bit of information about people's lives.
How would you feel if a reporter wanted to know why YOU were fired from a job? Suddenly when it's us it becomes "What fucking business is it of yours?".
It's a hard line to walk some days.
