    I recall someone way back in the 80s frist coming up with "bio-bots", which is somewhat better, maybe?

    The "Original" link is wrong. Try https://thedailywtf.com/articles/We-are-NOT-Meatbots! instead.

    It would be tempting to leave a printout of the edit log for that page in a place where the warehouse workers would find it.

    That's basically how russian leaders treat their people today - sending them to attack a sovereign neighbor as cannon fodder, or as people there call it, "meat grinder attacks"....

    I suppose maybe the warehouse staff overreacted, but that said, they replaced the warehouse staff entirely after insulting them? Something tells me lawyers would be salivating at a situation like this, I could be wrong.

    Sadly, insulting your workers is not a protected activity... at least in the US. And with "at will" employment, a wholesale replacement of an entire department isn't illegal on its face. Now, if the shipping department were primarily one race (or a variety of protected classes that the VP was known to dislike), then there's a possible discrimination suit.

    But I just got hired after nine months of unemployment, so I'm not about to rock my particular at-will boat.
