culture : HAVE YOU EVER LOST YOUR JOB DUE INDIRECTLY TO THIS WEBSITE?

[+] ballot by Guest_597cc

I just did!

I was working as a temp in a mailroom for a major corporation whose name I won't divulge (ConAgra Foods) and they told me they didn't need me anymore.

When I asked why, they said it was because I was on the Internet. However, everyone else was as well.

So now today, they call me back and tell me that it was because I "said nasty things about President Bush" on the Internet while at work. Obviously that was on this website.

I'm not blaming anybody for this debacle at all, of course. I typed it all. However, don't I have First Amendment rights? It's not like I asked if I should kill Bush or anything like that. I just don't like Bush. I dislike him even more now, lol.

So has anything you wrote on this site caused you to lose your job?

Yes -- dissed Bush online.

No.

I'm very familiar with Con Agra, are they in Council Bluffs? It does sound as if they have singled you out. The burden of proof for them would be to verify that you are actually Guest_597cc and typed any possible Bush comments. Considering this sight is largely based on anonymity, that would be a very costly endeavor for the company. When you were using the computer at work, were there others using the same computer or was it primarily yours? Is using the computer for personal reasons against company policy?

Smash their windows! (sees threatening looks) Er, but that would be... islam_hater's tactics.
