Woman Fired For Using Uppercase In Email
tomachi writes "An accountant in NZ has been awarded $17,000 NZD for unfair dismissal after her boss fired her without warning for using uppercase letters in a single email to co-workers. The email, which advises her team how to fill out staff claim forms, specifies a time and date highlighted in bold red, and a sentence written in capitals and highlighted in bold blue. It reads: 'To ensure your staff claim is processed and paid, please do follow the below checklist.' Her boss deemed the capital letters too confrontational for her co-workers to read after they woke up from naptime."
No one owes you (or me) anything. A job is a job, and if you're fired tomorrow... whining about it apparently gets you $17K NZD in this entitlement-based world where people voted other people in who'd promise such silly laws. Right to complain, sure. Right to be heard or have anyone give a crap, not really. The article sure sounds like she'd made plenty of people miserable prior to the e-mail. Why defend that? We've all had a co-worker who just needed to go away before.

Right, because if there's one thing that's needed after a rough four or five hours of being awake, it's a nice long nap. I mean, gosh. FOUR HOURS. That's just exhausting. I bet people need a second nap after the second four hours of work before that long ride home.

Did you read the studies, or jump right to being a douche bag?
