Dave Is Saved!

Looks like Miranda Kerr enthusiast David Kiely gets to keep grinding it out at Macquarie. After an internal review, the company has decided not to sack Dave after his unfortunate Internet browsing on live TV.

Anyone else think this is just hysterical? I always worked with the kind of guys who would do this sort of thing to you if they had the opportunity. I once sent a colleague a video with instructions to turn his speakers up because the audio was really low. It was a video of kittens for about 10 seconds, and then it switched to a guy screaming, "The boss is a c**t!" over and over again at max volume. He told me he got his ass reamed for that one.

So, all is well with Dave at Macquarie.

hilarious...but what a jackass thing to do, haha

 

I've got a similar story:

I have a friend who worked as live support chat for a public online software company. This guy is notorious for watching porn and frequently did it while working. He worked from his home computer so it wasn't a problem, right? Well, a few months ago he accidentially copy and pasted a link to one of his porn sites to a customer that he was providing online chat support to. When the customer clicked the link and asked why he had sent her porn, he denied it. The customer reported the conversation and the kid was subsequently fired. This was a few months ago -- and he is currently unemployed.

Hysterical and hypocritical.

Come on, why are we into the business of making money if not to game chicks more easily?! Trump, Bateman (well, his threesomes), Hefner and the like are role models for a lot of people with potentially high-powered careers.
