A tech worker was fired this week for laughing at Valleywag. No, seriously.
An as-yet anonymous man pinged me on Monday:
Fired blog addict: did you write that latest Valleywag article on the Google product cycle?
Valleywag: nope
Fired: okay
because it just got me fired.
i was laughing so hard after reading it
that my boss got pissed off and told me that i'm done.
Wag: oh shut the front door, you cannot be serious
Fired: thanks valleywag
i was cracking up so fucking hard, that i dont blame them
The boss told this poor guy to clear out his stuff and leave his work on his desk the same day. More chat excerpts (in which our easily amused victim loses his dignity) are after the jump.
Stay tuned — this morning we'll link to this man's new web site, "Valleyhag got me fired."
Fired: like i dont even know whether to be upset or not
Fired: haha this is just surreal
Wag: yeah, seriously, did she already want you gone?
Fired: im done at the end of the day
Fired: which is, 30 mins.
Fired: maybe she'll take it back?
Fired: my girlfriend is going to kill me
Fired: if i go in there, and lose my last shred of dignity by asking for a pink slip, do you promise to find me a job and prevent my woman from killing me for gettting fired?
Fired: iave alawys wanted to have my own webstartup
Fired: maybe this is my chance!
