In today's business world, people should be smart enough to know that work e-mail is for WORK.

If my entire record of work email was published right here, there would be nothing embarassing on it , nor would there be any examples of utter incompetence for anyone to use, because I'm not incompetent, and I'm smart enough to know that my work e-mail is not private.

Cool. So you don't ever use email. Got it.

Not only was Brown obviously incompetent for this job, but he was so stupid that he sent these types of emails using his work account during one a major crisis.

Obviously incompentent? Was that in 2004 too? Or in Mississippi or Alabama? Or was it just in new orleans.

Heck, I'd fire someone just for being that stupid if they were in a critical leadership role.

Must be fun to work there.

Let's stop whitewashing this. Brown obviously had no idea what he was doing. Yes, there was plenty of incompetence on the local and state levels, but Brown utterly failed at his job, and deserved to be fired.

He wasn't fired. He quit. He clearly had no idea what he was doing on those 164 events before new orleans was flushed. Obviously... since there was such an outcry over those... right?

The real tragedy is that he is still on the payroll to the tune of $148,000 a year, to find out what he did wrong! UGH!

Uh, no. He resigned.

Yah... so realistic. Nobody's wife emails in to ask for something to pick up on the way home. Nobody in the office ever emails around to find out who'd like to go out for beers on Friday. Never happens. What? You're left off those email lists? Why am I unsurprised...

That's what peronal e-mail accounts are for. You use business e-mail accounts for business, and personal accounts for personal things.

Cool. So you don't ever use email. Got it.

Yes, I never use business e-mail for personal things, and especially not personal things that could be used to embarass me later on down the road, should they become public.

Obviously incompentent? Was that in 2004 too? Or in Mississippi or Alabama? Or was it just in new orleans.

Read the e-mails. Read more than just the banter about his appearance and such, read the e-mails about actual happenings on. He had no clue as to what was going on anywhere, and it's pretty obvious.

He wasn't fired. He quit. He clearly had no idea what he was doing on those 164 events before new orleans was flushed. Obviously... since there was such an outcry over those... right?

And like I said, he deserved to be fired, instead of being allowed the decency of quitting.

Uh, no. He resigned.

He is still on the payroll as a contractor, at least as of news that I read yesterday. $148,000 of my taxes are paying for him.
