Just a point of clarification; manager is/was female and have no idea where you are getting ETOH abuse from.

20 years ago this wouldn't have been a big deal, but today this can become a meme in less than 24 hours. A company like BMW isnt going to take kindly to having their name associated with that kind of asshole behavior. Maybe he doesn't lose his internship, but its not a plus on his performance review.

Also, i bet we have his Facebook page by Monday.

Im kinda surprised this hasnt caught on at Reddit or somewhere, ending in an epic shaming of the sender. Internet fail.

BMW definitely does not want to be associated with assholes!

I sent a similar email to my manager on my last day at my old job (except I also CC'd the entire department). I was working in industry I vowed never to go near ever again and it was directed to the most incompetent manager I had ever encountered. Repercussions? I was blacklisted by the recruitment agency who recruited me. Do I regret sending the email? Not for a second - it was one of the most liberating things I've ever done.

until the commencement of your employment the summer prior to the one upcoming.

... so "when you started last summer"

*glances at ripples in his glass of water*

Oh no! It's Thesaurus Rex!

This is why I have the Plain Speech thread. Stuff like this make people look like dumbasses.

god damn i tried to read that but the writing was impenetrable. I got a headache trying to keep all the unnecessary clauses and meanderings straight. Does he think this makes him look intelligent?
