hey klin,



that was a friend of mine who started that thread not me. he was at my place and asked me all of these questions since he was inherriting property so i told him to jump on atot because theres plenty of smart people here.

Uh, no, it was you. You use the same spacing between your paragraphs and sign-offs. Don't lie. Plus, your spelling, grammar, punctuation and lack of capitalization are the same.

Ownage in progress.

This definitely has the ingredients for an 'Ownage of the year' award.

edited for bad spelling :eek:

deffinately?

Even if you could spell, it's hardly tier 1 'ownage' ;)

Mildly amusing 'pwnage' at best.

That's interesting. I work in a laboratory doing a lot of regulated lab work - as a Study Director which per 21 CFR 58 is the legal responsible person for a FDA regulated study - and I never heard of something along the lines of accidentally sending documents to, what sounds essentially as the wrong department within the same company, as something that is a regulatory issue and can be grounds for firing. Anyhow if this was a regulated study and it was a screw-up I imagine the Study Director or Principal Investigator along with the QA group would have chewed you out so you damn well would have seen it coming.

Seems like you had some previous issues at work and this was the final straw.

i guess so. the thing is this place is regulated by the fda so they have strict guidelines.

Yep, FDA involvement--that can be a dealbreaker for them.

I worked on a Sun Fire E2900, which is basically a badge-engineered Sun Fire V1280 thanks to a shift in the naming convention. They had to do a centerplane replacement, and because of availability a V1280 centerplane was used (E2900s were near brand new and parts were next to impossible to get on the secondary market... and Sun is very tight about selling to their service competitors). Long story short, the shit hit the fan when the customer realized that the box was representing itself as a V1280 instead of E2900 because it had been FDA certified specifically as an E2900, and recertifying it would require an act of Congress and/or God. Not a fun day. We were in conference call hell for hours... not a fun day. :thumbsdown:

:)beer: for you, btw)

Some places really have to run that tight depending on what they deal with.

To OP, dust yourself off learn from your mistake and move on, you'll recover.



i know i will. the thing is i worked so hard there with the intent of promotion, now all of that work is lost and i have to start from scratch somewhere else.

luckily it was only a year invested. i worked a job for 5 years and was let go on false pretenses o the owner could give his best friend a job. while i worked there the company went from doing about 2mil a year to almost 15 a year, part of which i was responsible for helping with. i didnt even get a severance check.


and to the detective... is it not possible that his friend types the same as he does? mine is similar as well, do you think i am him also? how many others dont use capital letters or fully punctuate their posts here? maybe there is really only a few people with many accounts...

Invite them all to your place for lunch and charge them $10 a pop.

I thought you were a bartender?

If you weren't a bartender, then what was with all the free drinks???

:p;)


/edit: j/k, sorry to hear about the job. Pull it together, maintain your confidence, and get out there and get an even better job.

I worked regulatory and validation, amongst other things, in the pharma/biotech for about 4 years... I too am thinking there has to be way more to this story and or this story is a complete fabrication.

I would never have been fired simply for accidentally taking some documents off site unless they were (1) absolutely crucial documents or (2) the company thought I was possibly attempting industrial/corporate espionage. And trust me... I made one or two big mistakes.

But then again, I was an engineer/scientist and handled a lot of very important things... firing me would've hurt the organization a little more than firing an IT person.

Dear God, PWNED and in denial. :) I was thinking the same thing when I started reading the OP. WTF is a guy that just inherited a buttload of propery working entry level support?

LOLZ no more Mark posts. Think he realizes people remember things. Many of the people in this thread and myself are pretty straight up about crap. Life is interesting enough when you let it be to not have to create stuff.

they probably gave your job to a mexican for half price. My job was taken by a computer last week.




BIG DEAL, your last year of work was flushed down the drain. Get over it. It's only a year anyways. Not 5 or 10.
