Oops! Oh well...

Here's some interesting news! I think that this IM conversation pretty much sums it up...

(pdw98 is me)

pdw98: bad news here
cj: whats going on
pdw98: t e r m i n a t e d
pdw98: i am out of a job
cj: oh bugger
cj: why
pdw98: bugger all
pdw98: for doing something stupid
cj: like
pdw98: to make a long story short....
pdw98: i had a deadline for the people under me to have their annual self evaluations completed by a certain date
pdw98: and when that date came i had one person who forgot to do hers
cj: oh
pdw98: so what did i do you ask?
pdw98: i went into the pc and did her self eval for her
pdw98: i didnt realize that it was a "class 1 terminable offense"
cj: oh
cj: oops
pdw98: yes
pdw98: f&%#
pdw98: i did it to myself
pdw98: SO
pdw98: also lost 3 weeks of vacation as well
pdw98: five years in
cj: ouch
pdw98: for something stupid
pdw98: hell
pdw98: i had even evaluated the girl as EE...exceeds expectations
pdw98: doesnt matter in the company's eyes
cj: maybe it is time for redirection
cj: how did they find out?
pdw98: well
pdw98: when the girl went to the pc the following day to do her self eval, it was greyed out
pdw98: so instead of coming to me she goes to my supervisor
pdw98: and he checks it out
pdw98: and the next day he asks me whats going on
pdw98: i tell him and he tells me to put it in writing so he can fax it to associate relations
pdw98: so they come back with "paul f#$%#d up and has to be terminated"
pdw98: they said i was falsifying company documents
pdw98: which in effect was true
pdw98: i should have not done what i did and should have waited one more day for the girl to do her eval
pdw98: i took the deadline seriously
pdw98: too seriously it seems
cj: bugger
