No. If anything it's up to the company leadership to be tactful, level-headed, and importantly, magnanimous in the face of petty slights and provocations -- like those of the severed employee, in this case.

And that's what's so tragically stupid about this whole thing -- what happened at the outset (the employee's remarks in a public forum) was a very little thing. And what did Yishan do? He want out of his way to make it a big thing. It's like he sees a fire in the wastebasket, and his natural instinct is to throw more oil on it.
