    How the f* do muppets like this get employed?

    He gets paid a huge wodge of cash, f*s up royally, get fired, goes to court, yet still gets a senior position at another company months later?

      That's the way it works.

      Take a look at Mark Hurd as an example.

      He hires an assistant who may have worked in the entertainment industry before.

      Gets dismissed for allegedly miss claiming on his expenses.

      Takes a big, please go away bonus.

      Sues HP because he wants more, more, more.

      Joins a previous HP partner and sets about the destruction of his former employer.

      I tell you its tough at the top.

    Dishonestly

    Trust, Confidence, Microsoft.

    Yet again, I have to draw attention to the poor standard of English used by Reg writers. Don't you know that those three words are not permitted in the same sentence without a negative?

    Now... Do I go for the Schoolmaster, or the Troll?

    Dishonest? Microsoft? Ssshurely not!

    "Behaved dishonestly, and thereby acted in a manner calculated or likely to destroy trust and confidence" - That's a bit rich coming from Microsoft. www.tadag.com
