"Special Agent Vince Cefalu has worked for the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms for more than 25 years. On top of successfully placing dozens of hard criminals behind bars throughout his career, Cefalu has received promotions and consistently positive evaluations. When he started raising his voice about ATF corruption and illegal wiretapping in 2005, things changed. Tuesday evening, Cefalu was asked to meet Special Agent in Charge of the San Francisco Field Division Joseph Riehl at a Denny's Restaurant near Lake Tahoe. When he arrived, he was served termination papers in the parking lot. Classy move. The exchange was secretly recorded by a confidential source. David Codrea has more:"

Cefalu's whistle-blowing started in 2005. So it's Bush's fault.

Bush's fault for the sleazy way of firing him in a parking lot?

 

Of course.

 

I don't entirely buy that story anyway. Though it's bush league to conduct almost any business like that, I've got to believe it's all but bureaucratically impossible to fire a government worker in a restaurant parking lot. At the very least, I'm sure there's plenty more to the story that hasn't been released.

Since there is going to be a lawsuit here I guess we'll find out.

If he worked in a classified or otherwise limited access building, you don't want to give him a chance to access his work environment. In such a case, the place to deliver the termination documents should be a public place in hopes of lessening a chance for the employee to cause a scene.

Yeah, Yes. I know. You don't.

 

I've seen it happen. It doesn't happen in a Denny's parking lot.

 

You're really arguing that, if someone works in a secured facility, the only other option is a public parking lot and not, say, an unsecured office?

"Yes, I know you don't."

 

 

God, that's !@#$in' hilarious.

What does this mean? "Yes, I know you don't."?

And the Laughin' Joe Biden **** is old already.

 

It's "Yes. I know. You don't."

 

I'm trying to find the connection with my short and concise reply of "No" to your question.

I don't know. I'm just quoting you from earlier. Seemed to work then.
Got it. I'm not trying to defend the method, but it has been used where I've worked in the past to let go some employees who didn't keep up with their certs and spent too much time on the internet surfing. There actions had also indicated they may cause trouble if they were ever let go. Well, they are no longer employed there anymore and were actually met by the lead at the IHOP down the street. I'm sure this agent felt that this was what was going down and refused to go inside (that's why he had someone there to record the whole thing). You see, you meet them, tell them what's happening and gauge whether or not you could then escort them to an office for the rest. Edited by Oxrock
