Criticizing your workplace publicly: How stupid do you have to be

[Jo March]

to post something like this on your blog knowing that people from your work read your blog? Oh, and how stupid do you have to be to be surprised that you get fired for said comments on said blog?
I can understand if he didn't realize that people were reading his blog but he KNEW and posted this crap anyway!!

BTW - this guy is a right-wing nutjob of the first order. I've left the blog off of here. If you are really curious to read more, PM me.

"But, Celia is a director of the carrier group who's role represents the sole source of transport layer (read: data circuits) provisioning for the entire company. She has mousy blonde hair and is constantly wearing a knee brace on her right leg.

She is also quite possibly the most obnoxious person you will ever meet.

<snip>

I start to get angry. My ears and cheeks flush and I feel the pressure cooker inside me about to explode. In one furious, but controlled, motion, I reach across the table and press my thumbs into Celia's eye sockets until her useless brain squirts from her ears. I then rip her head from her body and use it as a soccer ball as I dribble down the hallways back to my office, where I mix a dry martini and drink it directly from her skull.

"We wrote our requirements a long time ago and presented them in document. This has already been covered."

Not happy with my answer, she presses others in the room. Dennis finally sums up my words with a much more detailed answer that seems to appease Celia's desire to fuck up perfectly simple and uncomplicated ideas. She seems happy with his answer, and re-engages the shit spout.

Ted is the kind of person that will make a sweeping statement about a topic, regardless of whether he has data to back it up or not, then, based on that statement, will attempt to formulate an argument on the fly to back the statement up. The above is one such example of this. What an ICO2 site is really doesn't matter -- the point is that when he said that, I realized that he really wasn't as smart as people made him out to be.

So, I shot back at him, me lowest level peon slave took on big old director of network architecture Ted.

"Why don't we need this for ICO2 sites? Just saying something doesn't make it true."

He's surprised by this, I think, as he back-peddles a bit.

"I meant we don't need to measure something we don't own."

"Something we don't own? Stop making stuff up. ICO2 sites are one of the main reasons we need this."

He's feeling uncomfortable. Lucky for him, Celia comes in to save the day and makes some remark about how Ted "wipes his ass with more money than us." She continues with her little tirade, salting her monologue with a regular occurence of "fuck" or "shit" or "ass" every ten or so words. I'm feeling good, the superiority complex heightening after having put a director in his place.

1. Possible Mental Health Issues With the Description of What He Wants to Do

to Celia.

Other than that, it's the classic no-life, dull, powerless underling trying to make himself sound big and important on the Internets. And actually coming off a good deal more pathetic in the process.

3. This is one of the guys who was sending me hate mail

He posted that about a week ago and was fired yesterday.

He is one of the guys who was sending me hate mail back in November and December. I had a friend help me track him down. He was sending emails from within Microsoft, where he worked.

After I read what he wanted to do to Celia, I got even more scared.

He threatened my kids and my husband. That's when I called in some help.

6. Be careful, arn. He's crackers.

[Jo March]

8. Funny thing is two of the others who were harassing me are military

They are both in Iraq now as far as we've been able to figure out (their unit is there, anyway).

One - dumb enough to send threatening emails from work
Two - dumb enough to send their threatening emails from a military computer on a military base.

They are crackers alright!!

2. And he fancies himself a writer.

Shit for brains.

[Jo March]

4. LOL!

That made me laugh. A nice smackdown in three little words.

:rofl:

5. Criticising the workplace is one thing --

the extreme rage depicted in the posting is something else entirely. This guy should not only be fired, he should be charged with threatening Celia -- it would almost certainly be quashed on free speech grounds, but it would in the meantime allow the police to check out his house and find out if he is obsessing and has a weapons cache. He could be very dangerous.

[elehhhhna]

7. Celia & the Co. should get a restraining order, asap.

[Jo March]

9. I think that he is dangerous

I'm glad that he's out in Seattle.

Folks don't understand that 1) threats on the internet are still threats and 2) you can trace emails.

This poor Celia person is probably quite shaken up, I'd imagine.

I have to admire the folks who fired him. At least they stood up to him. I just hope that he doesn't end up killing someone.

10. Please tell me he doesn't own a gun....

[Jo March]

11. I am not sure if he does - but he LOVES guns

That is not a slam on gun owners. There is nothing wrong with owning a gun. Loving and worshipping a weapon, however, is a bit sick.

[beyurslf]

12. Exactly. I have no problem with people owning guns... unless they have an

untreated psychotic disorders and post rantings about killing people on their blogs.

13. You and I think alike

LOL!!!
