560 years ago today the Turks started giving it to the Greeks in the ass. :)

I think that actually started before then.

I just intentionally pissed off someone from a company we're partnering with, just to make a point.  Unless you're my director or above, do *not* send me an email with "Action Required" in the subject line.

I guess some HR person is going to get an "Action Required' e-mail from your director pretty soon.

I'm not just standing up for myself-- I'm standing up for my company.  They oughtta give me a medal.

You're not standing up for your company, you're making your company look unprofessional.  You should be on your best best behavior when dealing with outsiders.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You weren't there, man.  You didn't see how it went down.

Do companies get pissy when employees send snippy letters to their counterparts in other companies?  I have no idea.

I don't know, I've never actually seen it happen, on either side of the communication.  To me that's just unthinkable.  I imagine that no manager is going to particularly like hearing complaints about the conduct of their employee from another company's manager.
