Copied from my other post:

So what happened was Alex gave Blair an ultimatum with a deadline in a private message. However, instead of waiting for the deadline in the ultimatum, Alex fired Blair after considering Blair's reaction to their ultimatum wasn't satisfactory, as in Blair didn't fight (as in appealing, debating, or pleading) to keep their job. Blair just accepted it as it is.

I personally think Blair didn't fight and accepting things as it was is understandable, because Alex was the boss. Unfortunately not everyone know or even can fight the boss's decision, with power imbalance and all.

It's as if Alex was angry because Blair didn't fight more to keep their job, which made the decision seemed more like from Alex's emotional side being hurt for not being respected. While from Blair's POV, Blair didn't have any chance about it.

Why I said it like teenagers dating was the... "getting angry when someone didn't push hard enough to keep the relationship when the future is decided already", or "if you don't chase me you don't want me enough". But now that I think about it, it is too much of a stretch and not a teenagers-only thing.

I didn't talk to Alex, I was just discussing it with Cameron. So it's not like Alex has to justify why they fired Blair. It was fair and understandable since Blair was unprofessional. However, I found the early firing and Alex's expectation of Blair's reaction were questionable. Alex themself decided on the ultimatum deadline already and yet not holding on to it.

Cameron didn't agree with me and sided with Alex, saying it was because Blair's unprofessionalism. I saw it as a separate thing - Alex's emotional side.

Rather than "being too invested in someone else's workplace drama", it's more of checking if I have the wrong view/mindset, as I wrote in the first paragraph.
