You are correct; it ought to read "who" not "whom" because it is a subject relative pronoun in this instance.

HOWEVER:
It is important not to bring attention to such things, unless it contributes a comedic turn to a posting, because unsolicited criticism of this type is seen (rightly so) as an act of fascist grammar and spelling Nazis.

Ur was an ancient kingdom in Mesopotamia around the time of the Legend of Gilgamesh. Which is not only the first recorded tale in any civilization, but it's also a pretty good story.

I bet they told you what they "could of" or "should of" done. Is this person "you're" co-worker?
