Oh, there are servers in the server room. But you don't want servers. You want soft drinks. And there are no soft drinks in the server room.

Lol I guess he wouldn't be happy to see me sitting my mountain dew can on top of a server :D I'd worry way more about falling off a ladder and ripping a rack down or something than me spilling a soda.

Hard drives lost to "natural causes" in the last month - 4
Hard drives lost to spilled soda...ever - 0

That's really lame to fire someone over a can of pop. Disciplinary action, fine, or some time off. But to fire him on the spot, wtf. What a meanyhead.

Not if its well known that you will be fired for bringing a can of pop into the server room. Doing something that you know will get you fired is silly. Just dont bring a frickin can of pop in there.

This is what you call a zero tolerance policy. I am suprised he made the same threat to the contract worker company too. That's potentially severing a very important relationship. Wow.

Wow, that site - pay $45/month to read internal memos or a discounted subscription of $180 a year. What a bargain!
