Turkinghead 06/17/21 2:10:21 PM #1:	We're still working from home full time. We have a weekly conference where we need to explain where we're at with our pipeline, and what's stopping us. Dude on my team was talking about how he was hung up on one and had to call tech support and was on the phone for 45 minutes because he couldn't see a box that was unchecked. He said, with a lot of levity that he was having a "blond" moment, and a couple people laughed but my boss just solemnly acknowledged him and cut his review of the pipeline short, said that he would continue his review after the call. Dude is FIRED now because he offended someone apparently. They disbursed his pipeline, sent an email that he is no longer with us, and said to not communicate with him under ANY circumstances. <cite>Turkinghead posted [p:955133809] in Dude at my...
