Man Fired For His Online Customer Service Game 210
First time accepted submitter DiscountBorg(TM) writes "An employee of the Canada Revenue Agency lost his job after releasing a humorous game in which the player answers customer service calls for the Agency, usually leading to his termination. In an email National Revenue Minister Gail Shea said: 'The Minister considers this type of conduct offensive and completely unacceptable. The Minister has asked the Commissioner (of Revenue, Andrew Treusch) to investigate and take any and all necessary corrective action. The Minister has asked the CRA to investigate urgently to ensure no confidential taxpayer information was compromised.'"

You got Windows XP? I had a fucking amber text WYSE TERMINAL in 2007. That they're probably still using.

Best thing about writing a customer-service simulator: if your code freezes, people don't care, they think it's part of the simulation.

The beatings will continue until the moral improves.
