You really think putting cartoons on the bulletin board is the way to enlightenment? I wonder if you've ever been in management. That strip is caustic even by Dilbert standards. It's a slap in the face and insubordinate, not to mention a misuse of company resources (the bulletin board is not meant for that purpose). It does nothing to improve the company- it only destabilizes. Publicly posting a hateful comic strip at work to improve management practices is like trying to smother a bonfire with kerosene. The best thing you can say about it is that it's utterly foolish and misses the point. Dilbert comics are meant to be enjoyed in privacy.
For reference, I am treated very poorly by my management. That doesn't mean being rude would make me some kind of folk hero.
Few problems here:
1. You do not know this companies P&P. Do you work for this company and know what their BB is meant?
2. Enlightenment? WTF are you talking about? He posted it as a joke to cheer people up and found it funny. He's not the freaking Dalai Lama here.
3. So you feel that the company firing him and THEN challenging his unemployment benefits was the best solution for the company? You think this "improves" the company?
Why couldn't the company simply ask him to take it down and have a talk with him about no longer putting cartoons up? The REASON they fired him is layoffs were company and it was an easy out and they didn't want him getting unemployment.
The only thing utterly foolish in this is the company?s reaction and mismanagement of the situation. Now they've been rejected by a judge who agreed it was not intentional misbehavior.
"It's a slap in the face and insubordinate"
I had a supervisor in my previous job that liked to use that term a lot. Its like her battle cry. "INSUBORDINATION!" Well anyway long story short she was a kiss up and lied to her subordinates to get her way. your overall post reminds me heavily of her. its a cartoon. if management doesn't like it, they could have just removed it from the board and discussed the matter with him. over-reaction with a chunk of superiority complex. :|
RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAY!!!! :|
