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."

    The exchange is not especially funny; mostly silly.

    But I'm surprised they got sacked over THAT. Why couldn't their manager just have a serious talk with them? Couldn't that have cleared any problem?

    If having this exchange is improper, then what about the guys that sent it to rival law firms? Isn't that more improper? Were they sacked? Why not?

    Is this an example of sexism?
