Spam That Delivers a Pink Slip
alphadogg wrote in with a Network World story that begins: "Last week, a handful of employees at Dekalb Medical Center in Decatur, Ga., received e-mails saying they were being laid off. The subject line read 'Urgent — employment issue,' and the sender listed on the message was at dekalb.org, which is the domain the medical center uses. The e-mail contained a link to a Web site that claimed to offer career-counseling information. And so a few employees, concerned about their employment status and no doubt miffed about being laid off via e-mail, clicked on the link to learn more and unwittingly downloaded a keylogger program that was lurking at the site. Score another one for spammers."
I was going to say... Wouldn't it be ironic if they got laid off because they fell for a fake email that said they were getting laid off?
Cool! Amazing Toys.
(Not really.)
In Soviet Russia, spam deletes you!
Curiosity was framed. Ignorance killed the cat.
why bother with that when you can hire a schizo with paranoia issues who also suffers from OCD? Tell him to monitor the firewalls, and that if anyone manages to break in undetected that he'll lose his job. Add in some muzak with subliminal messages chanting "they're breaking in! They're out to get you!" then you'll have your dream tech monitoring your NOC. No need to train anyone to be paranoid, just take a few mentally ill folks off of their brain meds and leverage their condition. You'll save them money on medical care, they'll get paid and have a secure job, and you will rest easy knowing you have paranoid people obsessively monitoring your network. :D

I would not accept being fired by some nonconfrontational method like this.
Just pretend you never got it. and ignore it, go about your day. Apparently the boss is already too much of a pussy as to actually fire you in the fire place, so what is the chance he will say anything. Hell come back the next day, then cause a small scene making them look like idiots.
THey are afraid of confrontation, make that fear a realization (in a calm way, but put it all on them)
The phrase "more better" is acceptable English. suck it grammar Nazis
