Crock of shit

Shit, this is typical of the over litigious society that the US has become. What a crock of shit. What an absolutely HUGE crock of steaming, odourous, fly attracting shit.

A man in the US is suing IBM for $5m (£2.5m) in a wrongful dismissal case after he was fired for visiting adult internet chat rooms while at work.

James Pacenza, 58, says he was addicted to online chat rooms and that IBM should have offered him sympathy and treatment instead of firing him.

The Vietnam War veteran says he has suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder since 1969. He argues that he used the internet to control his psychological problems.

Does that sound like the same tired old excuse? Uh huh, yes, I think so. But wait, it gets better!

Mr Pacenza says that seeing his best friend killed in action while they were on patrol in Vietnam in 1969 brought on his post-traumatic stress disorder.

He says that his psychological problems have left him addicted to sex, especially adult internet chat rooms.

When a fellow employee at IBM told managers that Mr Pacenza was visiting such sites while at work, he was fired. The stated reason was that he visited an internet chat site for a sexual experience after he had previously been warned

.

MNCs always have policies governing usage of computers. Internet surfing is a privilege, not a right. Such sites have an increased risk factor re all sorts of nasty things like viruses, trogans and all that shit.

On top of that, we've not even touched the surface about your surfing these chat rooms ALL the time. Especially since you'd been warned before. And you have the cheek to say IBM should have held your hand instead of throwing you out like the fucked up pariah that you are?


My my my.... I hope IBM drags your ass in the mud Big Time.
