Wow...that's classy. :-/

When I put in my 2 weeks notice at my last job, I was sent home on the spot. They deactivated my email login before I even got back to my desk. I couldn't even tell my group members that I was leaving...they probably thought I was fired. -_- At my current job, they seem to do the same thing for the layoffs. When people get laid off, a manager announces it to the team - the former employees immediately lose all access to the email lists and their account...probably to safeguard against nasty emails.

I thought the same thing at first, but then I read the article. I'm pretty sure it's intended to be a joke....besides he tabbed over to the button, and he lured the cat over. I can't imagine this would hold up in court. If the guy who made this "device" is serious, then yes....wtf indeed.
