Man Fired For His Online Customer Service Game

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday January 30, 2013 @10:28PM from the was-that-wrong? dept.

First time accepted submitter DiscountBorg(TM) writes "An employee of the Canada Revenue Agency lost his job after releasing a humorous game in which the player answers customer service calls for the Agency, usually leading to his termination. In an email National Revenue Minister Gail Shea said: 'The Minister considers this type of conduct offensive and completely unacceptable. The Minister has asked the Commissioner (of Revenue, Andrew Treusch) to investigate and take any and all necessary corrective action. The Minister has asked the CRA to investigate urgently to ensure no confidential taxpayer information was compromised.'"

....please give this gentleman a real, non-soul sucking, non-phone job.
The kid that was kicked out of school for finding the security issue was given an internship and a scholarship to help get him back on track when he was the victim of administrative idiocy. I hope someone with some power to help can do the same here.
The only non-soul sucking job is to be running your own business and not depending upon a supervisor or manager for your livelihood.
