It wasn't work related, no? She wrote from the personal account, not from the @vmware or something.
I'm not pro insults on twitter. But I think much bigger problem than the insults is the way corporations try to claim everything as "work related". If that specific account or whole media (Twitter) had been explicitly mentioned as her job responsibilities, then I guess corporation was in the right, claiming that it was for work. But just trying to blanket control whole human lives during the employment period is bad. Bad for us, employees.
She attended the conference on behalf of her employer (literally the first line on her post), and insulted people at this conference, this is 100% work related.
