is there a term for getting fired by tweet…


@realDonaldTrump
I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House. I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the Administration, and therefore….
….I asked John for his resignation, which was given to me this morning. I thank John very much for his service. I will be naming a new National Security Advisor next week.

Or this version:

John Bolton
@AmbJohnBolton
I offered to resign last night and President Trump said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

So when you get sacked, how long do you have access to your gov't twitter account? Or is that a personal account?

I can't believe the internet hasn't come up with a good name for this yet…but I did find this related gem

Can you fire someone over text message?
The simple answer is Yes. While it is unprofessional and rude, unless you have an employment contract or the real reason for the termination is an illegal reason, as discussed below, firing via text message is perfectly legal. Simply being fired by text message does not give you a legal claim against the employer.

it's his personal account.  his first ambassadorship was back in the 80's, so he's been ambassador bolton for a long time.

To be honest, that was the only thing I liked about him and I'm notoriously facial hair adverse.

walrus mustaches are the facial equivalent of a bow tie: not actually attractive, but quirky and provide instant identity.

How, dare you. Correct from all angles . . . but how dare, you.  Just, for that, I am wearing one tomorrow.  Also, when you wear them, in the country, no matter what your profession is . . . you are a homospectacle.

well played…but will not be missed
