Oh please...I didn't find it humorous that she would lose her job but that she thought Blockbuster was such a strong company. Learn to read posts.

I got what you meant. Not really sure what caused the uproar.

But I remember working at Blockbuster years ago. The company treated employees and customers like shit and had a "too big to fail" mentality. Good riddance.

Yeah and that's why people responded as they did.

If you were known to be a vicious and heartless username, people would've just cussed you out instead of expressing shock, frowny faces, and ThetaDancer's attempt at giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Where's the uproar?

Her point was extremely clear until this part "I just sat there chuckling to myself thinking she'd be looking for a new job within a year." That's what people are responding to. Add water and stir.
