Scotty Iseri posts likely the last episode of Scotty Got an Office Job, his hilarious video series that we’ve covered in the past. As it turns out, his boss reads this blog.
Thanks for the Laughing Squid shout-out, Scotty. Let us know if you need a reference.
UPDATE: Liz Shannon Miller of NewTeeVee reports that Scotty was offered his job back, but instead decided to return to freelance work.

Wooohooo, you got it man! If I had a video producing company…unfortunately i dont. And Dresden, my city is a little bit too far from SF just for working here ;) . You should be thankful! You got rid of this absolutely un-amazing boss. No more problems. Start a Co-Working Space or become a Video-Producing teacher at a school or sth.
Greetings from the Old World!
Wow, I can’t believe his boss blew up like that. Instead of using it to his advantage he gets pissed off and fires him? I haven’t been following the videos too much, but it was a waste of a resource the company could have exploited. If I knew what company that was, I wouldn’t do business with them after a blow-up like that. Reminds me of how Dilbert got started. Good lock Scotty!
Hey, I know Scotty! He’s done tech work and performances at a theater in Chicago that I volunteer at all the time. He’s a great guy and extremely resourceful. Don’t worry, gang, he will be just fine.
All I could hear throughout this video was the fact that, even though the boss didn’t know he was being recorded, it sounds like Scotty may have some kind of good case for unemployment benefits! Without knowing his personnel background of previous reprimands, Scotty wasn’t even given the chance to take the videos down to keep his job. I agree with Mike, I wouldn’t do business with him either. The boss is representing the company as well in his behavior towards an employee, whether or not it made it to the internet! I haven’t followed this series of videos before, but if Scotty got his boss this mad, it makes me want to play them all now! Good luck Scotty!
