PayPal exec Rakesh 'Rocky' Agrawal FIRED after Twitter rant against colleagues

PayPal has fired an executive after less than two months in the job over an ill-advised Twitter rant in which he cursed out colleagues and called them ‘useless.’

Rakesh ‘Rocky’ Agrawal bashed his new colleagues after the company hired him as director of strategy – and then he blamed it on not knowing how to use an Android phone.

The vitriolic, spelling error-riddled tweeting began around 1.00 a.m Saturday while he was out in New Orleans and ended with him saying he quit the firm.

PayPal, whose company headquarters are in San Jose, California, has sinced confirmed Agrawal's exit by tweeting the company had 'zero tolerance' for his behavior.

He deleted the tweets shortly after waking them up and blamed his android phone's interface for them being public

Agrawal claimed he meant them to be private messages to a colleague
