At work

Interesting times at work today. I work in a cubicle strewn building that deals in customer service. Today some guy was fired (I'm guessing fired - I don't have all the facts). But he sure didn't go easy. I'm guessing he was escorted to clean out his desk by a couple of police. I work a few cubicles and a couple of aisles over and you could hear him hollerin' and rantin' and ravin' and threatenin' for several minutes. To be honest, I was a bit afraid to stick my head out of my cubicle. When things finally quieted down, I did look over and could see a couple of uniformed police still wandering around. There were also a bunch of people looking rather confused staring towards the now empty desk.

Well, like I said, I don't know all the details behind this, but I sure think he could have taken a more dignified way out of the building. Now, instead of the poor guy who lost his job, he'll be known as the nutcase who went off at his fellow workers. My feelings on this is no matter how badly you feel (or actually were for that matter) treated you should show a bit more class on your way out the door. I hope if that ever happens to me, I'll behave a little more like a grownup instead of coming off like a rabid disgruntled employee looking to take it out on his fellow workers.
