In our location about 300. If it went corprate wide, which it sounds like it did, then oh about 9500 people. The place I work for is owned by a health care organization that has hospitals, clinics, etc... all over the Southwest(Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico, Kansas, Arizona) and even some in New Jersey and Michigan.Originally posted by: SaltBoy
Great story! :laugh:
Just curious, how many employees are there in the company (that got the e-mail)?

Agreed, this type of message is much better when communicated in person. It's more fullfilling that way.

Just got back from the accounting and I.T. deparments, wanted to see what happened. Why the I.T. department? You'll see. Apparently the guy was in his mid 50's and was a bit of a weirdo, I can't help but think Milton.
So anyway he got pissed yesterday afternoon because his monitor went bad and I.T. took him a new one. Well this new one was silver and didn't match his black PC, keyboard, mouse, etc... like his old black one did. He started throwing a fit at the tech guy saying he wanted a black monitor, guy tried to explain to him that every monitor they have purchased in the last year has been silver. Wasn't good enough for this guy, Ted is his name by the way, so he continued to throw a fit about it. Went to his manager and was complaining about it and his manager told him that was just the way it was going to be. Guy went back to his cubicle and seemed to give it a rest. Guess he stewed on it or something because he sent out the email last night about 5:15 and left. End of story right?
Not so fast sparky. Before good ol Ted left he destroyed the monitor. Put a fist through it from what the people in I.T. told me. So now they are going to press charges against Ted the wise. I'm guessing the police will be paying him a visit today.
If I hear more I'll keep everyone posted. God how I love working in this soap opera. Between angry fat women destroying vending machines and now Ted going apesh1t on a monitor the fun never ends around here.
Man that would be too freaky but this guy's last name started with a G. Close alphabetically though.Originally posted by: DPmaster

Hmm just a quick question but did this Ted have a last name that started with an "F". The reason I ask is because we used to have someone named Ted work for us a few years ago until he got fired and escorted out of the building by some police officers. He was also in accounting. Only reason I ask is because I noticed you were in TX.
Just about the only thing people are talking about here today.Originally posted by: Linux23

Dude, if he seems likely to shoot up the place, most likely he'll do it today (before cooling down over the weekend) so I'd leave work early and play golf NOW! (Its for your health!)Originally posted by: Medicine Bear
Get to work this morning and see the above as an email subject line in my inbox. Of course I had to open it. The email was from someone here in the company and all that was in the body of the message was "Fvck you all"
No idea who the guy is that sent it, don't recognize the name although I did look him up in the company directory and he works, or should I say worked, in accounting.
The email was sent company wide. Gotta love it.

Ummmm because he destroyed company property. A nice big, 21 inch maybe larger, BLACK monitor that I'm sure wasn't cheap.Originally posted by: Crazyfool
