    A guy at my work is getting fired for this:

    I got a call this morning from my boss at 10 asking if anything strange happened at work last night. I said no nothing funny happened and I asked why. He said that a controversial email had been sent out to all the facility users, including the executive offices which are full of a bunch of ultra-conservatives that take their job very seriously, last night at 2 minutes to close by the guy in the next cubicle over from me. I said no I had no idea since I had all my stuff shut down before that.

    So, I called someone in my department and had her forward a copy of the email to me, since I'm off for the next two days. Here is the email in its entirety, except without full names or the company name:

    All I can say is I wish this had come from another department instead of the one I'm in.

    Subject
    My name is Michael and I approve of
    this message,





    1 of 3

    Since we have to vote for people in another department. Many of you may not
    know who I am. Allow me to introduce myself........

    Hello,

    My name is Michael and I'm running for Employee of the Month. I was
    speaking with my Campaign Manager (Christain Xxxxxx) and he suggested that
    some of the building may not know who I am. While I find this hard to
    believe, I mean, I guess it may be possible. Some people in this world have
    never heard of Menudo the greatest rock band in the galaxy. So going with
    that, there maybe somefolk who never heard of me. So in case your one of
    the .003% of the population living on Mars, allow me to breakdown my
    proposal. Now my opponent claims he can cut overhead and lower.............
    blah, blah, blah. I'M TALKING ABOUT KEG STANDS, AND BAR-B-QUE! Last months
    EOM says they can cut the deficit in............... snore, yawn, fart,
    fart. I'M TALKING ABOUT NASCAR AND FOOTBALL AND BEER FUNNELS AND FUNNEL
    CAKE, AND TONS OF OTHER STUFF THAT HAS TO DO WITH FUNNELS AND MAYBE DUCT
    TAPE! Xxx Xxxxxx people don't want no stinking deficit cut. We want "Fuzzy
    Bunny Slippers Day" and "Where's the beef bumper stickers". We want a
    fireworks extravaganza when its time to go home, and clothing optional
    Tuesdays. Instead of Coke machines we could have Margarita machines. How
    come there are no TV's in the bathroom? And another thing, must we use
    recycled sandpaper as TP? I need cloudy softness with a kiss of aloe. Not
    paper that was forged by Lucifer himself and passed out as a "Welcome to
    hell" gift basket. As my first act I plan to change the "hold" music to NWA
    and 2 live crew. Also, as your Employee of the Month, I promise to crush
    the time clock and replace it with a pizza-o-matic. Lets not forget about
    the medicinal uses of voting for Michael. In fact, Voting for Michael has
    been shown to decrease blood pressure and increase libido. Just ask this
    proctologist. He'll tell you about the nutritional value of voting for
    Michael. Also, Michael has 35 % less carbs, now with gluten. I also plan to
    redesign a machine and enter it on Bot Wars! And lets not forget about my
    plan to incorporate a slip n slide through the hallways. Imagine the next
    time your on break and you grab an intertube and "Lazy River" your way to
    the coffee machine where it is a fountain made of chocolate, spewing coffee
    and chocolatey goodness like Niagara Falls. Welcome to my world. Now I'm
    not making any promises, you could say I'm just babbling. So remember, vote
    for me this election. Voting for me is a "Vote" for democracy. Let's show
    the communist big wigs, that were sick and tired and were NOT GOING TO TAKE
    THIS ANYMORE! Free Bobby Fisher! We want Sha-na-na! So remember: Let THEM
    have their "tar-tar" sauce, you've got Michael Xxxxxxx.

    Warning: Voting for Michael may cause dizziness, and/or constipation, loss
    of appetite, and in some cases death. Do not vote for Michael if you are
    already on medication, nursing or pregnant. Do not take more than one per
    day. Consult your cardiologist before voting. Not intended for internal
    use. Not a birth control.

            Woody Allen got lousy grades in college because he wrote entertainingly funny things that professors didn't appreciate...

            At most, I would think that would deserve a writeup. At the VERY most. He's not badmouthing the company. He's not damaging anyone's reputation. Hell, he really isn't even wasting much company time by doing that (that minimal waste of time, indicating that he wasn't working when writing that, is what I would see getting written up for...)

            Did he break some kind of prespecified rule? Is he not supposed to 'campaign' for EOM? Was he given an exact reason for getting fired? That's messed up! Perhaps he was on his way out anyway... maybe they just needed a reason.

            How will that impact you? Is your department going to suffer now?

                As it turns out, not only is he going to be let go (at a funeral today so it'll be tomorrow), but they were looking for an excuse to release him and 2 other people being laid off as well. Thats 6 people in my department instead of 9.

                As far as the impact on the department, it wasn't too bad other than the fact that it happened where I was, instead of somewhere else and it made us look like a bunch of asses, and made it so that I now have to pick up after everybody else's absence.

                  that was a great email, but i had somewhat the same thing happen in my department but it had to do with excessive phone calls and emails. One of the supervisors had a list atleast 9 pages long of personal calls and emails made by a guy named...haha...michael. When he was let go our department was watched over like friggin' hawks for about 2-3 months. I say just keep quiet and lay low for awhile till this blows over. Something tells me he didn't mean to send it to the entire building tho

                        At least they didn't ask him to move his desk again...


                        But yeah, stuff like that is what scares me about the place I work. I mean sometimes I'm worried just being online and posting here. Its like all Id need is for the wrong person to see me, and I'm done. Although the company I work for is really chill, so I'm not all that concerned.

                        Actually the other day a guy sent everyone a video, and it was somewhat anti-Bush, and I was surprised, it was funny, but still. (It was the voting in Florida video)

                              where do you work? that really sucks!

                              those are exact reasons why i quit workin weichert real estate office....we have a large office with 100+ agents....it was so ***, ppl comenting on clothes, shirts, cant make any racial jokes, or use nicknames....one time my friends (i was 18 when i was hired) came to visit me (theyre dominican and ghetto wild) adn the boss was like "im paying for your time, this isnt a public park...blah blah blah" "you cant make that many phone calls to these ppl, or those ppl,or girls" etc... it felt like i was in 2nd grade all over again... cant do this, cant do that... since i was the yougest person there, i got blamed for all the stupid shit even when i had absolutely nothing to do with it..."who set fandango as the homepage on all the office computers....i dunno but i saw mike in there before"...

                              and heres the kicker, when i started suceeding way faster than anyone thought...and started doing better than ppl who were there for years...jealousy started to take over other agents....why the F would a 50 yr old mature "RE epert" wanna play mind games with am 18yr old kid? giving wrong advice, and making me do stupid things....turns out ppl told me they were jealous, so i said F it, i quit....was the happiest day of my life...no stupid little desk, no dumb teacher liek boss, no 2nd grade-like co-workers!
