It was not your normal goodbye letter, including some personal insults that crossed the line. I had forgotten to end my voice message so my "that b****" was caught on the VM by the HR person.
Needless to say, I was called to the office and properly chastised. I don't blame the HR person for what she had to do, especially since she cut me some slack after reading the note.
But I had to complete an online course as a punishment...which really wasn't all that bad.

Yeah, I think I would have broke out the Johnny Paycheck and told them to take this job and shove it, before I stood up in front of 1000's of people and I don't even mind public speaking.
As far as your deal, I think everyone has had one of those oooops moments at work at one time or another. As time has passed, everything has become a lot more PC and the HR people are a lot more involved.
