I like to keep track of my comments on various web sites, but there is no simple tool for doing this at the moment, so I will just post them here to my blog, along with a link to the original article:
A classic case: Some tw*t says
"Terry, I'm sorry, but your performance hasn't been up to snuff."
He says "does this have anything to do with having to have someone at the left side of that bell curve?" His supervisor says "well...we do have to grade some people poorly as well as well."
"I built and run this city's entire network infrastructure! I work on weekends, and any time anything goes wrong, I am the one who can fix it! And you pay me what? $80,000 a year!"
"I'm not sure I like your attitude, Terry."
"I'm not sure I give a shit. You will not like having me as an enemy either. You will not like having no access to any of the systems I built. You will not like seeing what happens when you treat someone who is absolutely integral to the IT systems of San Francisco like an asshole."
The rest is history. Can't really blame him for being hacked off or for taking his revenge. Would have been to his advantage to have done so in a way that didn't land him in jail, but still handed his idiot managers a heap of pain.
