Send your resume with a screenshot of this tweet to recruitment_p&c@dominos.com.my.— Pizza is Bae (@DominosMY) May 28, 2019Earlier this week, Maxis was unwittingly dragged into a social media gaffe when a tweet sent out under the name of its employee caught the eyes of netizens in Malaysia. According to a screenshot circulating online, a tweet posted on the telco's customer service account, Maxis Listens, said that presumably an employee named Larni is “tired with the incapable manager – Alvin” and is “ready to be fired soon”. The tweet also urged followers to take a screenshot of the tweet, and reshare it, in case it gets deleted. The individual behind the tweet allegedly identified herself as Larni Bharatan, Maxis social media team lead.While the original tweet has been deleted, Bharatan has put up her own tweet, clarifying that the tweet about her and her manager Alvin is false and that both of them “have a great working relationship”. She added that Maxis is currently investigating the matter. However, netizens remained sceptical, with many asking for proof that Larni is safe, with some even creating hashtags such as #prayforlarni, #justiceforlarni, #bringlarniback and #solidarityforlarni.
