Dude, You Are So Busted

Guy gets a job offer at Cisco. Good news, right? Especially since we’re in a scary recession. Time to celebrate, right? Now back when I was young, that would mean going out to dinner or whatever. These kids, nowadays, the first thing they do is Tweet about it:

“Cisco just offered me a job! Now I have to weigh the utility of a fatty paycheck against the daily commute to San Jose and hating the work.”

These kids nowadays are sure ungrateful. And stupid. Because someone from Cisco knows how to use Twitter:

“Who is the hiring manager. I'm sure they would love to know that you will hate the work. We here at Cisco are versed in the web.”

Bus-ted.

OK, for the third time, here’s the moral of the story:

(a) Never speak ill of others.

(b) If for some reason you cannot control yourself with regard to (a), do not put your rant on your MySpace/Facebook/LinkedIn/whatever page.

(c) Ditto compromising pictures of yourself with captions such as "drunken pirate".

(d) If for some reason you cannot control yourself with regard to (a), (b), or (c) above, please ensure that only people you trust can see it.
