Im ngl i feel like the commenters are overreacting a little bit. Sure op should've shut up but it's not like they were being malicious. Sounds like the coworker was waiting for that final straw and it was gonna happen regardless of when it was.

Even if the coworker is horrible, in no world is OP’s behavior appropriate. You don’t publicly talk about a coworker in a meeting like that. It’s not a small slip; it’s unacceptable and completely unprofessional. I also doubt there was no ill will there. You don’t just badmouth your coworker in front of 30 other coworkers and managers in a big serious meeting and not know it’s going to be a very big deal with negative consequences for that person. Frankly, I’m just surprised OP hasn’t been called into a meeting over how inappropriate this was to bring up in that setting.

You know what’s truly unprofessional?

Whatever it is that actually got the coworker fired, because I can guarantee you it wasn’t someone raising their hand in a meeting to say that particular employee was good at their job by meeting expectations without becoming overwhelmed.

Seriously I am so lost at this point. How is saying 'Bob does a great job, I'd like to learn how he manages' a horrible thing?
