Or it's his reason to get drunk, like he needs a reason.

I don't know why but tonight I need to get something off my chest
   
I did not know her very well, I only spoke to her once and that was on the day she killed herself. Right about four years ago, when I was still working at Nationwide. She came to my cube and just blurted out, almost yelling at me "Are you going to keep speaking up about how the new management is screwing this place up?" I was more then a little surprised. I knew who she was but we had never worked together, she had a reputation of being an excellent programmer but difficult to work with so I was unsure why she was seemingly confronting me as she was. I did not want to start any kind of argument with her and was unsure of what she was getting at so I just said "Yes". She started to cry a bit and said "Good"... and left.

To be honest, I was thinking WTF? It bothered me... but not enough to do anything.

She went home and swallowed a bunch of pills and died.

A week later I heard that she had not been to work. A lot of people were very worried about her yet management of Nationwide was telling people it was not up to us to go and check on her. On the tenth day all of us knew something was very wrong and several of us decided to go look for her... it did not end well.

I deny nothing.

I was high profile in objecting to Nationwide's change in direction. I did not know of her state of mind. I knew Nationwide's new management style was ****ing with/and continues ****ing with people and causing massive personal issues.

I was unable to stop it. It goes on.

I know her death is not my fault on one level but another part of me still feels responsible.

I'm gonna go have some hard drinks and a good cry for a bit.

2. My dear Ohio Joe...
   
I'm so sorry, sweetie...

My deepest condolences on the loss of your coworker and friend...

Friend? WTF? He spoke with ONE TIME, and he didn't even know she wasn't at work for 10 days !  Stoopid Piggy  from Cali.

5. Corporate Culture is the anti-Christ. Someone should write a book.

6. I'm so sorry to hear it. But don't feel guilty or responsible.
   
You had no way of knowing what she was going to do.

You say this all happened 4 years ago?

Kind of hard to believe isn't it?

7. The Corporation is NOT Our Friend   
   
with absentee ownership, the Corporation is as souless as slavery.

Nor is Government our friend, not now, maybe never again.

It is person to person, grassroots, where our strength and hope and salvation lie.

You have learned a hard lesson. Use it wisely and pass it on, as you have here.

Absentee ownership happens because people own shares in the companies.

That's it.  The DUmp is boring on weekends.  You would think with the drugs and booze they consume that they could come up with some DUzY's.

I wish my dear CPeg would just STFU.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

DUmmy Ohio Joe knows that the CalPig has his back, which is something of exactly zero worth. But deep down, he knows that it surely was solely his fault that lady killed herself, and if he has any guts at all he'll do something permanent about it. Buh-bye, DUmmy Ohio Joe.

Maybe he could take a few pills with a few of those drinks, in solidarity with his friend.

Maybe you should have answered "No."

Conversing with a DUmbass tends to have that effect, even on normal people.

I wonder if his imaginary co-worker knows he's using her dead body to surf the wave of DU anti-corporation resentment? Maybe CPeg will write an ode to his pain.

Aren't their little fingers tired of typing out c-o-r-p-o-r-a-t-i-o-n?  I'm tired of reading it from them.  Just what exactly  what do they expect from a "corporation?"  I suppose a free paycheck and lavish benefits in return for nothing but their beautiful existence on this earth.   Newsflash for DUmmies too stupid to take Econ 101 and took basketweaving instead:  Corporations exist to make money.

Meh.  It would have been better had Ohio Joe told the DUmp that he gave her the pills from his own personal stash.
