			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Potential retaliation is no reason to reconsider disciplinary action against an employee. Nevertheless, this boss is probably sorry he had to fire his employee. <span id="more-253"></span></p>
<p>Police in Plainville, a town in Great Britain, have arrested a woman on charges that she tried to retaliate against her former boss by having electricity cut off to his home.</p>
<p>After the woman was fired from her job at an insurance-sales agency, she allegedly used a co-worker&#8217;s computer password the next day to make a request that the utility company shut off the power to her boss&#8217; home.</p>
<p>The utility called the boss to verify the request and discovered the call was a fake, according to <em>The Bristol Press.</em></p>
<p>The woman faces charges of breach of peace and using a computer to commit a crime.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If an uproar occurs at your company today at 3 p.m. (Eastern Time), don&#8217;t say we didn&#8217;t warn you. Today is Insult Your Boss Day. <span id="more-250"></span></p>
<p>According to the <a href="http://www.insultyourbossday.com/">official Web site</a>, on July 23, employees are encouraged to &#8220;join forces with your brethren against a common enemy. Satanic supervisors, mean managers, slimy CEOs: They all deserve to be on the receiving end of a swift kick in the butt. And now, Insult Your Boss Day (IYBD) provides the opportunity to do just that.&#8221;</p>
<p>At 3 p.m., &#8220;all workers should inslut their bosses simultaneously, followed by a communal drink at the nearest bar.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Web site includes advice from Lady Arabella Snark, Honorary Chair of IYBD 2008.</p>
<p>The Lady answers questions online from workers interested in insulting their bosses. An example: &#8220;&#8216;Insult my boss! What if I get fired?&#8217; you might ask. Insults leave no mark—at least none visible to the Division of Unemployment, who will be paying your rent for the next six months while you drink Mai Tais in your underwear and catch up on One Life to Live. Enjoy!&#8221;</p>
