Deloitte employee praises Adolf Hitler in LinkedIn post, sacked after backlash

A Deloitte employee was forced to apologise and later deleted his LinkedIn account after he was slammed for a post, where he praised German dictator Adolf Hitler. He has now been sacked from his job he joined a month ago, Deloitte confirmed later.

The man, identified as Neerabh Mehrotra, wrote in his post titled "Friday Inspiration" about how he always wanted to read about Hitler and went on to speak about the "charismatic qualities" he had.

"Recently I picked up a book on Adolf Hitler "The Dark Charisma of Adolf Hitler" by Laurence Rees. I always wanted to read about Hitler and the World War II and this book gave me a fair understanding about these topic," Mehrotra, who worked in the Risk Advisory Department at Deloitte, wrote.

He then went on to state "some of the imperative qualities" of Hitler such as "charismatic visionary, magnetic speaker, extremely confident, very intellectual and massive action taker,".

Mehrotra was slammed for the post on Twitter with many users sharing screenshots from the post.
"Dangerous thoughts made visible. Revealing. They are personal until things get real," another user wrote.
