image filename and Bush

[Dji-man]

It seems that someone at Netscape doesn't like Dubya and got fired for using an "inappropriate " filename for an pic of dubya and Laura : a$$hole.jpg. :D

I think that qualifies as unfair dismissal... :D

There goes that guys fifteen (15) minutes in the spotlight.

Is it even possible to get fired for that??? I can not beleive it! Why is it even an issue?

[ResaleBroker]

I would imagine the reason this person was fired was for violating a company policy not just because it was President Bush.

[Sorvoja]

I can beleive that anyone can get fired for violating a company file naming policy.

[ResaleBroker]

I doubt the policy was about file naming conventions. It was probably closer to "Employee Conduct."
