Media Choices

This week's evidence that media choices have consequences...

From the Telegraph:

Dozens of former employees looted offices of the personal injury claims firm The Accident Group after being told by text message that they had lost their jobs.

...

Offices in Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool were ransacked by staff, who carried off computers and other equipment. Staff had received three text messages on their mobile phones, warning them that they should not go into work, that their final salaries could not be paid and that a full explanation would be given by e-mail.

...

[One witness:] "I could hardly believe what I saw. There were people walking out of the office with computers. One chap quite high up in the company had loaded up his car with laptops and driven off."
