Internet Addict Sues IBM
A man, James Pacenza, who was fired by IBM for visiting an adult chat room (after being given a warning four months earlier), is suing the company for $5 million, claiming he is an Internet addict and sex addict, who deserves treatment for what he calls a disability.
When he was fired, the confrontation began, "That better be a mouse, Pacenza!"
Pacenza claims that before the firing, he was considered his supervisor's "right hand man."
Pacenza had a running gag that "IBM" stood for: "I've been masturbating."
Pacenza also cited having to wear a blue tie, as creating a hostile intolerant workplace.
Upon being dismissed, Pacenza was overheard arguing, "Okay, great; I get it: exiting the PC business by selling the laptop and desktop units to a Chinese company in order to focus on the profitable consulting business is 'okay', but pretending to be a 24 year old woman at 'I like Big Balls dot com' is 'wrong.' "
