(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A customer service representative at the RMV is out of a job for firing off a nasty rant on Twitter. According to the Boston Herald, Jaheel Robinson of Randolph reportedly sent out a stream of obscenity-filled insults towards his co-workers and bosses last week. Well the RMV brass wasn't impressed. Registrar Rachel Kaprelian called Robinson's Twitter posts "reprehensible."
Tough, tough case here. On the one hand, I'm not a huge fan of snooping bosses stalking people's lives on Twitter and Facebook while eating their microwaved dinners and watching Wheel of Fortune with their mom and cat...seems like you're just trying to bust your employees.
Plus you gotta be allowed to vent some where, people don't talk face to face anymore, we throw that shit out on the internet like a flag and hope one of our e-friends with no life, who spends their day surveilling Facebook feeds, liking and commenting on everyone's status like it's their job, takes the time to comment on our day. And this guy didn't even say anything that bad, he said "I just wanna yell fuck you to all these customers" and "bitch just told me I sounded unfriendly, #shesonhold." Really nothing that bad, he aint calling anyone out by name, its all rather annonymous. I'm on his side until this point.
But what throws me off his side is that he works at the god damn DMV. Now I get that working at the DMV is no one's career choice as a kid. The place is a cesspool. But I have to believe with every bone in my body you'd rather be on the employee side of the counter than be the poor schmuck just trying to renew his license stuck sitting there for 2 hours between Ernesto, who smells like he's been here for two weeks straight trying to complete his immigration paperwork, and some guy who just goes by Klown, who's trying to get his license reinstated after a series of violent arrests. I'm sitting here risking my life and olfactory senses and this guy has time to Tweet? Get the fuck out.
