Have
you ever accidentally sent the wrong email or text to a friend? How about the
wrong email or text to a number a friends? How about a misfire to a bunch of
co-workers? Or maybe even workers who are under you? Well, that's what happened
to Gerard Robson. Robson, a JFK Airport Security supervisor has been fired for
accidentally sending out a mass e-mail blast of his genitals to nearly two
dozen shocked underlings, supervisors and Port Authority executives. That's
right! Now, why would you keep a photo of your junk on your phone? Haven't we
learned that keeping stuff like that on your phone can be incriminating almost
99 percent of the time? Do you really love your man parts that much, Mr.
Robson?
The
embarrassing incident occurred around 7:15 am on June 21 after Robson, a project
manager for private contractor FJC Security, responded to an airport parking
lot fender bender involving a security guard's car. Robson's intent was to
alert his bosses and Port Authority execs as to what had happened by taking
photos of the cars and emailing the images with his company-issued Blackberry.
Wait a minute! So, he was keeping photos of his privates on his company phone?
That's even worse! Unfortunately for Robson, he somehow attached a snapshot
stored on the phone showing him; now picture this, inside a car, waist down,
naked penis and fat belly all out.
Robson
realized his mistake almost immediately. He then made a mad rush to delete the
photo from the office computers and cell phones of subordinates. Allegedly, the
former New Jersey transit cop tried to diffuse the situation by emailing an
apology that read: "Earlier this morning, while I was sending out a
notification regarding a Motor Vehicle Accident, I had taken several pictures
of the vehicle. In error, I accidentally attached a very inappropriate photo
and without realizing the mistake, continued to send out the notification with
the photograph attached. Please accept my sincere apology as I'm truly sorry
for my actions."
Robson's
apology was a little too late. I'm sure after a good laugh in the office; PA
officials immediately revoked his airport security credentials and ordered him
barred from the premises. His employers at FJC then quickly moved to suspend
him before eventually firing him. Unbelievable! Were they a little harsh on
Robson? I think as a professional, it was pretty stupid to keep naked photos of
yourself on your "work" cell phone. It's stupid to keep it on any cell
phone for that matter! Yes, accidents happen, but in a setting like this, it
shouldn't have happened when there are executives, your supervisors and
underlings involved. Trust me, I hate to see people lose their jobs, but I also
feel that stupid people shouldn't be in positions where unemployed intelligent
people should be. Can we at least agree on that?
