and so a lawsuit was in the wings.
I know a programmer who puts on his resume that he quit two jobs
because he took his employer to labour relations, and quit
another because his boss had lied to him about the nature of the
job.
This same programmer didn't just phone a company daily about his
application, but, when he didn't hear from them on the day they
had promised to get back to him, phoned and left an abusive voice
mail message.
He hasn't worked for a while, and can't figure out why.

"And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow,
with smiling bastards lying 'bout you everywhere you go,
Stand tall and put forth all your strength of hand and heart and brain,
And like the 'Mary Ellen Carter' rise again."
