Secretaries Sacked After Flamewar at Work

Posted by samzenpus on from the you-are-all-fired dept.

ross.w writes "Two legal secretaries in Sydney have been sacked after a flamewar over a ham sandwich got circulated throughout the cities financial district. The insults about figures, boyfriends and jobs flew thick and fast and ultimately resulted in the dismissal of both of them for mis-use of the email system."

    I'm sure the article would have been more than worthy if the flamewar was over M$ v Linux... ...and not about a ham sandwich.

    Then again, if two hot secretaries were fighting over the M$ argument they'd probably get job offers from 1,000 slashdotters.

    This is precisely why women are paid, on average, like 70 cents to every average man's dollar. BECAUSE MEN GET WORK DONE. (Most) Women take too many personal days, care about this catty crap, and are too up in their heads. Ladies, shut up and get back to work.

    Pretty funny how their email chain was circulated, although not surprising... after all, men love a great catfight.
