was to answer phones and take messages. that's not producing a whole lot. so she gets a very low wage for that. if she figured out how to become more valuable to her company or any company and produce something worth more money, she would get paid more money. she graduated college and never learned that. >> i don't know if i agree with that. what do you think? >> the way i see it, she aspired to work in the media department, but the rating your employers isn't a way to do it. also, asking for money afterward being fired, i can't see her being hired by another company. >> on the other side, there are those posting on social media saying, that's her generation. you always want something for nothing and you are going online and going, i'm going to get upset about it and post online. do you agree? >> she is so lucky she is in the bay area. it's not even her real name. she wants privacy so she calls out the head of the corporation who worked to build his company. first of all, there are social media policies and every corporation. you don't bad mouth. i'm surprised it took them two hours to fire her. i would have fired her a lot sooner. again, i've done that kind of work in the past. you are the representative for that company, good, bad, or otherwise. you don't say anything publicly. she's gotten everything she deserves. it is the generation today a college degree doesn't mean

them out. you see them start to take the wall apart brick by brick. it's pretty intense. >> i'm glad they didn't fall into this gap from a height. it looks like they were just trying to scoot and play hide and seek. >> but still a scary situation for these kids to be in. they pick them up and pull them out. relieved and still shaken up by all of this. >> what i'm shocked at is that
