Fired Employees Saddened By Insensitive MySpace Pages of Ex-Bosses

You've just been fired. You are mad at your boss/es, but you understand that things like this happen and it was nothing personal (or was it? Whatever...). So you solemnly type in your boss/es' MySpace page and look for some consolation and perhaps a little inspirational "better days to come" blurb. Now imagine that your boss is talking about how nice the freakin' weather is and how sunny it is at the beach. WTF?

This is exactly what happened to approximately 12 MySpace employees yesterday. The execs' personal sites did not waste space with concerns or best wishes for the laid of employees. They did however choose to comment on the weather -- "just another manic monday. after a sublime weekend. can you say SUNNY LA" and the latest books- "Outlier was a great read." Good for you! You're literate!

To be fair, MySpace insists these people have simply had their department "restructured" and may yet have a job somewhere else in the company. Ah, euphemisms. Stay "classy," LA. [From: portfolio.com]
