So the professional equivalent of capital punishment has been meted out, expeditiously.  It was inevitable, and an unfortunate outcome resulting from a moment's frustration and very poor judgement.  Let that be a lesson for everyone....don't ever put anything in writing that you wouldn't want your mother/grandmother (or the Minister) to see.  Practice safe text!

Still, I wonder if the outcome would have been any different if the employee had used the term "rabid b*tch" instead.  Maybe so, since the perpetrator was also female?  [Had a  male used the B-word in this instance, I suspect he would be summarily terminated too.]  One doesn't hear "rabid" much in workplaces, but "b*tch" is hardly uncommon.
