Man Fired For His Online Customer Service Game
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.'"
I used to be proud to be Canadian. Now I see Canada as an over-taxed, rigid, boring place with nothing except natural resources. We have too much government, taking too much money, to do too little. Fuck you, Canada. Take THAT, CRA. Come and get me, you fascistic bureaucratic automatons.
Mostly random stuff.
