Think I am being a pussy about the bullshit that goes around here. Taken from a company wide E-mail.
Using the CAPS LOCK can be perceived by others as argumentative and defensive.
Both of these behaviors are not what (Deleted) Inc. wish to portray.
Using CAPS in email form is no longer an acceptable form of communication. Turn the CAPS Lock OFF.

I've been a corporate drone for six years now. This is very typical. It's a very defensive/CYA environment.
Florida is an employment at will state and it took me nearly a year and a half to get a non-performing (failing to show up...showing up stoned) employee terminated (actually...the irony is that the day I got permission to terminate, she called and quit).
It's bullshit, for sure. I'm working on my exit strategy as we speak.
That said, it's not the worst thing in the world. The pay and benefits are great. I get to bowl with AWK and Ogre and occasionally see Jumbo rock faces.
