Fired and Oblivious

Only obsessive fans of the movie Office Space will remember the character Milton Waddams, who was constantly shifted from one cubicle to another, and finally snapped when he was moved to a storage room and his precious red stapler was stolen:

But the real problem was that at one point Milton had been laid off and he didn't even know it. Well, apparently he's not the only one. Fedsmith's Susan Smith reports on the case of an IRS clerk who claimed that he didn't know that he had been fired from a previous job at the Air Force.
