Yelp worker fired after sending open letter to CEO

A Yelp worker who penned an open letter to the CEO detailing the struggles of living on her mediocre wage has allegedly been fired as a result.

Talia Jane published the letter, addressed to Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman, last Friday. She was fired just hours later, Yahoo! Tech reported.

Famous for its employee perks, Silicon Valley where Yelp is based is reputed as a highly desirable area to work.

But for Jane, who worked in customer service for the internet company, the utopian workplace was a myth.
