OHNO GUISE WATCH OUT OR YOU'LL BE NEXT
ALL CAPS emails lead to woman's firing
WHAT COULD BE MORE ANNOYING THAN THIS? MAYBE IF IT WAS BOLD? AND RED?
OK, I can't actually make that text red due to the publishing system I'm on, but it would certainly be annoying, wouldn't it?
And if you worked for New Zealand's ProCare Health, it could even get you fired.
That's exactly what hapened to Vicki Walker, who was abruptly kicked out of her job for sending "confrontational emails" with text formatted in a variety of red, bold, and all caps fonts. Walker had sent the emails to fellow workers within the company, usually with stern and detailed instructions on how forms should be properly filled out.

I KNOW WE'RE NOT STUPID LIKE THIS WOMAN BUT I COULD ALMOST SEE THIS HAPPENING TO ONE OF US. I SEE PEOPLE ALL AROUND HERE SAYING THEY'RE ON HERE AT WORK, AND WHAT IF THEY FORGET TO TURN OFF THE CAPS AND ARE BLIND-SIGHTED BECAUSE OF SOMETHING EPIC THAT HAPPENED ON HERE JUST MINUETS AGO? I THINK I'M KIDDING. I DON'T THINK THERE WAS A POINT TO THIS. QUESTION: WHY DO WE GRAVITATE TOWARDS CAPS SO DAMN OFTEN?
