Let's hope she used her brief spell of unemployment to learn to play the violin.

Oh! I was just going to post this as a thread topic, but you beat me to it. This is so pathetic, and feeds right into the argument about self-responsibility. Ridiculous situation.
I'm inclined to agree, but you can also see how this sort of thing could happen... you know what some bosses are like... :-/ Aside from the alleged tragic consequences of this event, though, I did find the following line amusing... "There have been no other reports of people losing their jobs over Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, which opened nationwide this week." That's got to be the best film title ever! :-) ~PEPS~ Latest on The Art of Tea ( http://pepsoid.wordpress.com/ )... "In Defence of txtspeak"

Heehee. Media effects again innit. Hooray for Borat and his attempts (like Ali G's) to separate the wheat from the chaff (I speak as a wheat-chaff muesli of course).
"I'm inclined to agree, but you can also see how this sort of thing could happen... you know what some bosses are like" I'm not opposed to bosses sacking people who've clearly demonstrated that they're idiots.

 

I mean how bosses can make you feel like an idiot, paranoid, etc... The workplace does strange things to our sense of self-worth. ~PEPS~ Latest on The Art of Tea ( http://pepsoid.wordpress.com/ )... "In Defence of txtspeak"

My old boss had a habit of going mute whenever I did anything wrong. I used to buy him a mars bar at break and hand it to him when I got back. He went on holiday for two weeks and I found 50 mars bars in his drawer. bastard didn't like them did he. There's nothing more mind-teasing than the incomprehensible eagerly avowed - Dennett
