When you run your mouth at work the way this guy allegedly did, you deserve to be fired -gay or straight:
A judge has rejected a complaint from a garden centre worker who claimed he was sacked because he is gay.
Victor MacKenzie told a Dundee tribunal that he was dismissed by Cupar Garden Centre because of his sexuality. However, his bosses denied this and claimed they knew he was gay when he started the job as a plantsman.
Mr Mackenzie was spoken to by his managers after telling a workmate he planned to set up a porn site featuring his own sex acts, which led to a “quiet word” between assistant manager Ben McClean and the claimant, the court heard.
Since I work with someone who has a tendency to do the same exact thing, I find this utterly amusing. Remember kiddies, topics such a VD tests, sex clubs, and the like shouldn’t be heard in and amongst the cubicles during the workday.

We were just discussing the nature of cube conversation around here. My co-workers had me moved to a new cube so I could better participate in conversation. One of the guys that just quit is perturbed by the fact that everyone at his new place has headphones on all the time and no one talks. But even so, you’d be an idiot to tell your co-workers you’re planning on setting up your own porn site starring yourself. Dumbass.
We have an odd “cube culture” here, too. Sometimes we talk, sometimes we’re all working to our own tunes, literally. It just depends on the work level. I share an office room with two others, and so there are no cube walls- which, depending on the day, can be a good or a bad thing!
So, not only your mother, but your co-workers as well, know NOTHING about your porn career?
Mom knows, Dad doesn’t.
