As tragic as it is, I'm at least pleased to see that someone finally killed off upper management.

Pretty much every other time you hear about someone going postal and killing off people in the office it's their direct coworkers or other schulbs at their own level. Finally, someone targets the big boys responsible for the decisions.

As much as I tend away from violence, I have to agree here.
IF, actions like this give pause to someone about to make a decision with life altering implications about someone, then it's all good. Just another expense category to amortize. :disgust:
People work to fuel their personal lives. Their work is no less important than the work of the executive who is firing them. To try to disconnect them, especially when you are the one being affected, is illogical and parallels psychological techniques used to break someone mentally. Apparently it works.
This sort of thing ( workplace retaliatory violence ) is the sort of 'Final Solution' that the CorpoRATe Super nonCitizen will use to effect more social change (dismantling of current workplace regulations) to the further detriment of the affected worker, further fueling the feeling of frustrated dispair that feeds that 'Final Solution'.
As a Corporate Super Citizen, they can initiate legislation protecting themselves against such actions, all in the name of "safe workplace reform", which would be unnecessary if they would simply treat people in a more humane manner and less like an expense to be controlled.
Hegalian Dialectic in action, to our ultimate detrimate

How about this addition to the Pledge of Allegance.... With plausible deniability and exclusions for Multi-National (State-less) Corporations, under God-Dollar. :laugh:

To say I'm cynical about "Corporate Culture" would be accurate.
To say I'm sympathetic with the shooter would not. I understand, I do not approve.

I never noticed that you were so batshit insane and incoherent until the last month or so. I think your post just clued me in as to why. I'm guessing you lost your job recently? I can't imagine why they'd have chosen you to be laid off. :roll:

Going "postal", it's not just for USPS workers anymore.

Guess he went "engineer" on his coworkers.

I think your absolutely right. Whomever did the firing is and idiot!!! Didn't get get the memo?!?

Actually, this was HR's plan...fire a lowly employee with a lot to lose, get rid of the CEO and a few others, and they get to move up in life.

They're plan worked perfectly!

think he's still on the run at the moment.

asian guy too😛 and old...

47 isn't old.

Old enough to not be able to blame this on GTA4.

If they guy has kids they probably play and as such was influenced and taught by his child's "murder simulator". Don't worry they always find a way to blame the standard video games & guns scapegoats. :disgust:

WTF is wrong with you people? Why do you think these CEOs are some sort of evil leeches? Usually at these startups, the founders and CEOs are just engineers who have an idea and want to make a business out of it. These are smart people who often times they could make more money working less time at their old jobs than being CEO of startup, and mainly make good money if company goes public or is bought out for nice bank. Does "Sid Agrawal" sound like good old boy name to you? More like an immigrant trying to create the American dream here in Silicon Valley. Times are tough here, companies are slashing jobs left and right, to survive to grow and hire another day. It's part of working in the valley, especially a start up. Was this guy seriously expecting cradle to the grave job security?
