Except: it came right after Armstrong talking about not being bothered by "leaking information". And that according to Business Insider, this same employee "always" took photos during meetings/conference-calls, for internal publishing.

It's possible that in the stressful moment, with his mind on the "you're with the plan or should leave" theme, Armstrong misread or overreacted to the photo-taking. (Perhaps even, the "you're fired" was a reaction to a momentary facial expression from the photographer, in reaction to the first "put that camera down" command.)

Or maybe there's a history, and Armstrong already viewed the employee as insufficiently serious about Patch. Either way, an odd occurrence.
