1. Dude gets job with Cisco. 2. Dude posts less than enthused opinion about the Cisco job on Twitter (actually naming Cisco as his new employer). 3. Cisco employee on Twitter spots the post and promptly responds.

It wasn't smart, but I don't really think it was something worthy of firing somebody over. Employers can't be naive enough to think everybody that works for them likes what they do.

I also wonder what's to keep somebody else from making an account of some form on the Internet in somebody else's name and badmouthing an employer to get them fired.

Dear Cocksucker


I doubt he or she will need to read much beyond that :hatsoff:

Yeah, but I doubt he's anyone's boss. Seems more like a follower.

What a miserable little puke. Should have gotten a "correction" at the hands of a dog pile of Jewish wedding guests.

I agree with you here. I'd add that I find it more than a bit odd that companies now acted completely shocked that their employees use these web services. Being fired based on something like this to me is completely absurd, as unless this message was written from work, it's the employee's individual right to say what he likes, so long as he's not egregiously libeling the company, it's his right to say (or type) what he pleases.

I think the real problem here is how the guy TWITTERS, as if people give a fuck what he is doing at all moments of the day.

even worse who is the fuck that read his twitter post and then narced him out to the company for it?

but hey, thank God that he wasn't in some commie union that would try to project his job, right?
