9 Virtual March Protesters were just relieved of their jobs here at my company.

LMAO. I just got out of an emergency meeting with the sales manager here at work. He told us that he just fired 9 people in his department because he caught them participating in that farce today using company time and equipment. That is considered theft and thus leads to immediate termination at my company. He is able to monitor all of their keystrokes, pageviews, faxes, and phonecalls and they know it yet the dummies still did it.
Here are some of the highlights he gave us for just todays traffic.
-There were a total of around 1200 phone calls to Washington DC numbers today. We average 5 per day.
-One employee alone was responsible for over 300 of them.
-One lady faxed over 400 faxes to Washington numbers.
-There was over 5000 emails to .gov addresses from just that group.
-2 of them were caught actually running websites from here that are devoted to the protest today.
-3 of them hadn't even made one work related call today.
It was actually pretty funny to watch the guy walk them out because he walked in the office with two guys I've never seen before and asked for the following employees to stand up, then read off there names. He asked them to follow him up to the lunchroom for a meeting. The two guys followed them all up. A little later, one of those guys comes back with a supervisor and our IT guy. They took the personal effects from each of the cubes and put them on a cart. The IT guy took the hard drive from each of their computers also.
He told us in the meeting that the two guys were police officers who basically documented everything and escorted them off of the property with the warning that they would be charged with trespassing if they step foot back on the property.
Looks they will have lots of time to protest now. LOL
Dummies.

What were these idiots thinking? 1200 phone calls? Did they really think the company wouldn't log all those calls or the 500 faxes?

This is the best I have seen all day, maybe all month. A big STAR for your boss.
To: SirFishalot
I hope for the financial sake of your company that they have previously fired anyone and everyone who have used company time and computers to engage in any political activity. If not, you had better find another job.
Are you on company time right now??

The smug, condescending and self-righteous arrogance of the left wing, socialist, anti-American, fascist "liberals" never ends. They just can't conceive that they might be wrong.
We need more of this to happen to them. There should be consequences for treason. I hope they put these f**kers in jail.

Of course, now they're on some filthy website screaming about how any dissent against the war is being stifled by the evil republicans.
Either that, or they're trying desperately to find a lawyer.
Heh, good luck. Not.

Bingo!! You see what I see here.

Great news, congrats to your boss!!!
The fired employees deserved exactly what they got. I'm sure the comapy impounded the hard drives as evidence of their misconduct in case any of them feel like suing.
To: X-Servative
I was wondering the same thing. Lots of people go online at work when they are suppose to be working. When I'm at work I work.

Can you give us a clue as to who you work for? Oh, I suspect you will know in a day or so when they file suit for wrongful and discrimitory termination.
To: SirFishalot
Too funny! You made my day. Thanks for the post.
