Fired and not know it?

Imagine drinking your morning coffee and reading the daily newspaper and suddenly you see your name! Could they be writing about your amazing new clothing line? What about being named best dressed at a party you attended? For designer Alessandra Facchinetti the news was not so positive. Facchinetti was one of the head designers for Valentino, and let's just say her idea of what was fashionable did not match that of the Valentino name. She was severely judged by the fashion critics and after only two seasons of designs she was fired. The horrible part was not that she was fired but how she was fired. According to the Washington Post, Facchinetti had to learn about her unfortunate fate with Valentino in a newspaper. So what was her reaction to the whole situation? She "Accused the company of being unprofessional for announcing her departure in the press before bothering to mention it to her." I'm sure if that had happened to me I would have a few more choice words. I guess it just goes to show you never know what you'll read in the paper.
