So my Gm called me yesterday, after hours, while I was trying to sleep.

"Joe, it's Tom. Give me a call on my cell when you get this. it's important."

Well, it wasn't important. There's a salesman that he's got it out for and wanted to know how long it would take me ot get all the pertinant incriminating files (should there be any) from his computer. I told him an hour (so as to give myself 45 spare minutes).

What pisses me off about this is that he lied. this wasn't important. I dragged myself from a nice nap because he is being a nosey prick. if you want to fire a guy, fire him. if you want to node around his stuff then do it on your own time.

Evidence: some personal email, a bookmarked Alanis Moriset lyric generator, some personal paperwork related to recent injuries suffered, and internet checkers. ooooh. rough stuff.

there were a ton of porn links, but those are, in my opinion, all adaware or somehting. he certainly didn't bookmark fifty some odd porn sites in organized folders sorted by category and alphabetically. Some other site diid that for him. he may have been on that one site, or it may have just been a popup and I can't really prove or disprove it one way or the other.

the sad part? he'll probably get fired for all that. not the porn, but the rest of it. Not because it's a probkem. nobody else would get fired for it. but he will because the Gm doesn't like him. he was basically looking for an excuse. this is tame compared to what I would find on almost any other computer in hte office.

I wish that management would just grow a pair and do their own firing, rather than using us as a hard shoulder to ease their concience. Rubbish.
