   Speak for yourself.  I agree with the point you're making, in   
   fact it's the same point I was trying to make.  But don't assume   
   everyone who gets canned by a corporation has put the same   
   amount of effort into their jobs, and has the same set of (or lack   
   of) accomplishments.
