One example of this invasion of corporate politics on the 'net is the recent firing of one Rod Fournier by Kmart Inc. , allegedly for placing a link to his homepage on the Kmart corporate homepage, which he was writing at the time. I won't bother you with the sordid details of Rod's story, since he tells it best, but I will summarize quickly. Rod is asked to create a homepage for Kmart. Rod gets locked out of the webserver. Rod gets fired.
Life goes on.
This whole story sounds like a classic case of bad judgement, management ignorance, and multiple compounding screw-ups. Not too exciting really. The first mistake in this ugly situation was made by the people in Kmart's management who, after browsing Rod's home page thought that Rod would be a good candidate for creating their corporate webpage. It's obvious from this fact alone that these people had never seen a decent corporate webpage in their lives, and knew nothing about the Web. The second mistake was made by our would-be hero, Rod.
