that's not how companies and foundations function

What?

If a co-worker started disparaging me on Facebook and sharing private chat logs publicly... they'd be reprimanded at the very least, and if the behavior continued they'd be gone.

This is exactly why companies have HR policies.

No, out here in the real world they'd be terminated immediately for gross misconduct, and feel lucky if they exited the building on foot instead of head-first.

You're wrong, enterprises aren't in the business of vengeance. Instaterm == quietly letting go. Anything else is a liability nightmare and distraction to the enterprise's goals. That's just the way it is, and it would be terrifying otherwise.
