Comment You Reap What You Sow (Score 1) 703

We had an employee that was let go because he told a customer to F off on the phone. Apparently, he had been doing this quite a bit and finally got caught.

After he was let go, he sent a scathing email back to the company and told me and another supervisor to F off. He also mentioned in the email that he had gotten on at the local sheriff's department and his life was Sooooooo much better now. The idea of him carrying a gun was kind of scary.

A few weeks later, HR gets an unemployment request from the state for this ex-employee. It turns out that he didn't make the first cut during his training and somehow getting cut during training was not grounds for getting unemployment. HR forwarded his email and a request to deny unemployment to the state due to the fact that we were not his last employer. They agreed and denied him unemployment.

It was quite the poetic moment for me.....

Comment BF42 Revisited (Score 1) 54

I played BF42 for years. When BFV came out, I played it up until BF2 came out. I played BF2 for a while, then walked away.

Guess where I went? BF42. Even though the graphics are outdated and the maps lack any kind of resemblance of terrain, it's been the most fun of any of the games.

The WWII mod for BFV was a huge improvement over BF42. The same game, but better. The only downside was the 3 maps. If BF43 is the same game, but with a better engine, I would pay for it. I just wish they would stop dicking around and put out a full blown version.

For the record, I hate EA. I hate the lack of patch support. I hate DRM. But BF42 was such a phenomenal game, I am willing to look past that even for 3 maps. Past that, I've avoided everything to date.
