I have to relate this one, it was just too ironically funny.
I'm a big RSS nut, and I have our internal Wiki site's change log RSS as one of my feeds. This way, I get to view all recent edits to the Wiki, but otherwise rarely-if-ever access it, and even more-rarely-if-ever create or edit content in it.
Typical fare is product release updates, and people editing their personal pages to claim new skills or skill-levels (What!? Jimmy's a Java Expert? Not hardly!) I have not touched my page; I know too much, rofl.
As we all know, things here in the US economy are tightening, and our organization is no exception. In fact, one of my officemates just got the sack.
Was that the funny part?
Obviously not. The funny part was when I viewed the change log of the Employee List page, I noticed that not only he had been dismissed, but that someone else had been too, and the same day to boot!
Now I obviously feel bad for these new ex-employees, but I feel even worse for the organization that didn't make any mention of it, via email, verbally, etc. but only in the fine-print of some web page.
