I was terminated from my position as Director of IT at EMJ Corporation on December 6, 2010. This should not really have been a surprise to me – I just finished blogging about the “recovery” and wondering where it was. I was somewhat surprised though, to receive a message from a former employee encouraging me to commit suicide. Allen Williams of Chattanooga, Tennessee you are a class act dude. Stuff you post to Facebook is stuff you better be willing to defend. I’m putting your note out here for posterity. I have done and said many dumb things in my lifetime but I could never possibly compete with you.

First of all Allen, I’m not the type who would ever commit suicide because I was downsized. I am not embarrassed or ashamed of my performance or technical skills. If you want to call me out let’s put it on the record. I think it is shameful that you would write such a letter to another human being. The fact that you have not moved on after more than two years is an indicator of your lack of maturity. Perhaps you should focus on developing your own technical skills rather than worrying about what is going on with me. On your deathbed you will only have to look back on who Allen Williams was. What kind of man were you? We are all accountable for our thoughts, deeds and actions. I know that I am not perfect. Do you? Worry about your own problems. I wish you no ill and hope that at some point in time you pull that cancerous attitude out of your brain stem and retire it for good.
I was terminated. It is not the end of my world. I will move on with my life and learn what I can from the experience. Life is too short to get hung up on the kind of absolute garbage you seem to be stuck on. Get right in your head and your reality will change for the better. I hope your holidays are meaningful and filled with people who love you unconditionally. You probably need some of those kind of people in your life.
Your permanent record is now updated.
