Vodafone tosses out idiot tweeter
No more beavering for you
Requirements Checklist for Choosing a Cloud Backup and Recovery Service Provider
Vodafone's Twitter-based stupidity on Friday was down to an unguarded terminal, it transpires, and the employee concerned is now kicking his heels at home.
The tweet in question emanated from Vodafone UK's Stoke-based web team, but it wasn't one of that team who claimed to be "fed up of dirty homo's, going after some beaver". Apparently someone else stumbled across access to the Twitter feed and took advantage to share his plans for the weekend.
We reported the tweet on Friday, though Reg readers seems more concerned with the uncouth gentleman's lack of proper spelling and punctuation than his pungent opinion of the gay community.
Vodafone has been spending the weekend apologising to just about everyone, and the employee concerned has been suspended. The web team will no doubt be reviewing their office security procedures. ®

Well I'm a homo
and frankly to me it sounded like the writer was gay or bi, not been having a hard time so decided to bat for the other team this weekend. Either way I didn't find any of it offensive, it was funny as hell.
However it is a little unprofessional for the voice of one of the worlds largest company's to announce such a thing.
Who was sacked though?
Was it the idiot that posted the tweet, or the bigger idiot that left his terminal unlocked?
Badgers cos there's no beaver warning triangle.
