She's been fired because SendGrid doesn't need a "Developer Evangelist"

If she was an indispensable asset they would have found another way to handle the situation.

What? How can that make any sense? If they didn't need a Developer Evangelist then why did they have one in the first place? Are you seriously suggesting that their timing in firing her is completely coincidental?

No, what I'm saying is that she was expendable.

It's always an equation. If someone is not worth the trouble they represent in the situation at hand -- this is the result.
