Maybe you should browse "Jesus" forums just as much so you can tell them you are trying to expel the evils of Ridemonkey and they would keep you on?biggins said:
Yeah... good times come and good times go. 
On the other hand... employers should not be expected to put up wiht employees wasting company time and resources on internet browsing.

Agreed,but from his posts it sounds like they were mad over what he was looking at ,not the fact that he was on the internet.Which brings up the point that if other people were doing it, but not fired because they approved of what they were looking at.......
Wow.... You always hear of it, but never figure it can really happen.
I got my hand slapped for excessive email two jobs ago. They had a manifest og all my emails...it was like 1000 in a month. Mostly to acadian@teamplanetx.com..... They opened with "Mike, what is team planet x?"

Damn Biggins, sorry to hear it. Threads like this always scare me. 
I've heard of fellow monkeys getting their internet access taken away at work, and monkeys have gotten RM blocked at the office, but I think this is the first RM-related firing I've seen.

sure did not get anything like that. i was hourly so all i got a swift boot. i could actually tell however that my manager did not want to be doing what he was having to do.
damn benny, kinda sorry to hear about that. only kinda, because i know you hated that place and maybe this is the kick in the pants you need to find a better place that makes you happier... it happened to me in a roundabout kinda way.
maybe you could start selling yourself as a tourguide to "The Hott Girls of Asheville!!!!"

Sorry to hear that dude - that sucks! The company I consult for audits internet and email but never heard of anyone getting busted. Good luck in your job search. At least you can apply for unemployment right?
Sorry to hear that Ben.... I am sure you will find something that you dislike much much more. Go Tend Bar! You'd be the mac
They sound like a spineless bunch of bastards. Seems as if you'll be better of out of there. Good luck.
Hey man, hope I didn't help in your current situation. I know we were kinda going off in that one thread. Sorry to hear it.
Dude, that SUCKS! How the hell is a one armed man gonna find another job?

Biggins: Losing your job sucks, if for nothing else than you don't have a paycheck coming in, (no matter how $hitty it may be), to pay the bills. But you now have the opportunity for a fresh start and improve where/what you do for a living. Short-term things may be a little rough, but generally things work out for the better. Put togther/update your resume' and line up your references, there are better places out there to work. Places that pay better / treat you better, as well.

sucks Ben. Bummer
This might be your opportunity to relocate, start fresh. Sorry to hear about the loss of your job.
that sucks more than a quadraplegic prostitute.
While your sitting around think of some places where you would like to relocate to, then go look up the job listings for that area.biggins said:
biggins, sorry to hear of that suckitude.
head to flagstaff! the mountains are beckoning.

Come to ootah. Job growth is actually booming where I live but...It's behind the Zion Curtain. Killer riding, not so killer alcohol laws, and the crazy dominant religion might frighten you at first. But their womens have nice asses... 
Colorado, buddy. But it is expensive here. The tech industry is recovering slow too.biggins said:
That sucks, biggins, sorry to hear it.. Chance for a fresh start, though.
Hate to say it, but if they canned you because of RM without giving you a written or verbal warning first, someone was looking for an excuse to get rid of you.
Good luck with the job search!

Living here is cheaper than living in outer Mongolia...Pau11y said:
with the right lawyer, could you sue Ridemonkey for causing you to lose your job?
I know that Charlotte has alot of job prospects these days. And besides, its a great area to ride in...
Sorry dude. As a man who end up back in the bike shop because I was laid off while my boss was on vacation (thanks *sshole!!!), you got my sympathies.
As an ex-computer administrator, I understand corporate internet policies well. Frankly, internet access in the workplace is usually a distraction at best as well as a drain on resources. Intel, for example, does not allow external web access at the job.
The thing about surfing is that it looks like work. If whenever I started zoning at work I open a newspaper or wrote a personal letter, you know I'd be fired. That is the danger of web surfing on the job.
My old company, an lousy insurance company, blocked external email access (like hotmail, etc.), and at first I balked, but I quickly got used to it and left my mail to after work.
The reality about most jobs is that they really suck. I make this point about working a real job: when I am sitting in a cubicle, I surf bike sites. When I am working at a bike shop, I am not surfing computer administation sites...
