Any of y'all ever been fired? I been working at this cable company for 3 years now but we used to clown each other in the office on company email. Some one called the ethics hotline on one of the dudes I work with complaining about him and checked his emails. They found a grip of emails where me and a few other dudes were clowning each other and I got called into the HR office and we might all get canned. Pretty wack.

I'm glad they didn't say anything about going on the siccness at work cause I woulda been fired for sure haha

Any of y'all ever been fired before?

what kind of shit was in the emails?

is it because it was offensive and derogatory? or is it because you were using company email for non-work purposes?

I email back and forth with people in my office sometimes about things that aren't work related... some things that could be considered semi-inappropriate

nothin to get fired for though, I don't think...

anyways...

congrats, breh

The biggest thing that we were doin was using microsoft paint to cut and paste someone's face onto another picture. This dude had his face on Oscar De LA Hoya's face when he was wearing those fishnets.

The HR rep actually showed this email to me, which was one I had sent. I didn't say any names but it does kinda resemble this guy I work with but she didn't even realize that. She just said it was inappropriate. I almost started cracking up when she showed it to me.

I got fired once under similar circumstances.

EVERYBODY in my office used computers to browse the Internet and send personal e-mail.

I was there for a year when a customer e-mailed me to complain about the owner (my boss). She said my boss was a liar and didn't know anything about customer service. I had built a friendship with this customer, so I told her to e-mail me on my personal account if she needed to vent...and we could talk about it off the clock.

Well, not more than an hour later my boss called me into the office. Her and the warehouse manager said I was being removed from my position for using the computer for personal shit. Mind you, my sister in law worked there and spent most of her day looking at shit online for her wedding. My boss said I was e-mailing people on a personal level which was inexcusable (which is crap...couldn't control who e-mailed me).

Anyway, wouldn't have been a big deal if they enforced this shit from the jump. But they didn't and only decided it was important when somebody wanted to say some shit about my boss. In any case, you're probably better off.

OH, and I was a waiter once. My friends came in, the hostess seated them in front of a 45 minute crowd (after I told her NOT TO), and then told my boss I sat them ahead of everybody else. I was fired the next day...that fat bitch didn't like me from day one.

That's what pisses me off. They've told us to not spend too much time on the internet yet there's dudes streaming video's and crap all day. This lady that sits in front of me is the one I'm pretty sure reported the other dude yet she's on the Lotto website all the time cause she's addicted to gambling among other websites. I had considered just sayin F everybody and reporting the whole damn office since they're not going to fire all of us but then they'd probably just fire the people they consider to be the worst offenders and they'd try and find a way to fire me over it I'm sure.
