image filename and Bush

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.

I think that qualifies as unfair dismissal...

Pretty funny story. I guess the guy found a way to protest.

 

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?

 

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

 

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

 

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