So let's say it's Sunday night and the work week has not even started yet and you get an e-mail from your boss's boss with four other people copied on it blasting you badly for something.

Makes the week start out in the hole for me right there.

Anyone have a story to share about what they've been through?

I was doing some consulting for one of the big six consulting firms as a senior systems engineer. One of their "big" managers had some personal issue with me because I told the CTO of their company that he was a ****ing idiot and he needed to get the **** off of my project. This "big" manager came to the client site and took me into an office and started screaming at me. I held my hand up and said "Excuse me Sir, I'm not sure who in the **** you are used to talking to, but if you talk to me like that again you are going out that window....". The idiot continued yelling at me so I picked him up by his shirt collar and dragged his scrawny ass over to the window to throw him out. One of the VPs at the client heard the commotion and came in the room and rescued the "big" manager. The "big" manager tried to fire me but the client told him that they liked me and did not like the manager and told the manager to get off of their property and not come back.

Punk ass mother ****er.

So - don't tell me. You called a missile strike on his company? Or just filed another RICO act lawsuit against them? Or did you go in and destroy them one-on one - like the A-Team? Or maybe just called up the Las Vegas police department to file a complaint against them since they were saying nasty things to you?

Which one was it? I NEED to know.
