Drunken Lemurs

Heh. Via Curt, a story about a little bad judgment at the office, followed by a far worse response from upper management.

In a bit of self-referential cartooning, "Dilbert" creator Scott Adams has penned a series of strips that indirectly describe the plight of Dave Steward, a former security supervisor for Catfish Bend Casino in Burlington. Steward, 50, a resident of Fort Madison, was fired by the casino last fall after seven years of employment. He had posted on an office bulletin board a "Dilbert" strip in which the protagonist compares his bosses to a bunch of "drunken lemurs."

Casino managers were not amused. By reviewing surveillance tapes, they determined that Steward was responsible for posting the cartoon. They fired him and accused him of not being a "team player."

Just let it go, people. It's not as if he was vandalizing company property. If you don't like the comic, just take it down and move on. Sheesh.

Love the cartoon. I think Scott speaks for a lot of us out here ;~)

I meant to add that it sucks that he lost his job over it. Proved his point, eh?
