Hey! Maybe he pissed off the IT staff! We’ve been known to do worse!

Yeah, Guy, I “worked there.” It’s the kind of job that tested my limits, broke my heart with regularity, and offered me the chance to develop more patience, tolerance, and empathy than I ever thought I was capable of having.

What_I_want to know is, what information is contained in the notice about the Employee Polygraph Protection Act?

This is not a boss. This is a bosshole!

(I didn’t make up that term, by the way, but the person who did make it up won’t mind my plagiarizing it.)

I was wondering the same thing. Empty what? Soda cans? Water bottles? Drug paraphernalia? Just what DO they do during coffee breaks in that office?

If they can’t even rinse out their empties, what makes the boss think they could kill themselves competently? Someone’s going to hang themselves by their foot, or lock themselves in the garage with their Prius running.

Happy Homicidal Snowman isn’t that much of a threat- he hasn’t figured out that adjusting the thermostat isn’t as deadly to us as it is to him.

Depends. In boom times, no. In the current recession? Yes, for now….. just until you get something else lined up.

It’s not worth it to spend so much time in a work evironment like that. But I also like to eat.

What he meant was he thought autocorrect would catch it. Crazy secret about MS Word, it has a setting that turns off spellcheck for words all in caps. You can fix it, of course, but it means finding the darn option. Luckily, I don’t have to worry about it because my workplace uses Corel Wordperfect (lol). However, I regularly see docs where some shmuck doesn’t realize word is not checking his headings because it’s caps so simple words are butchered.

Ok, me, you inspired moi to check out more of the bulletin board and what did I find?

There seems to be something about the “Employee Polygraph Protection Act” to the right of the picture. See it?

And the utter joy of working in that office just crystallized in my mind in a way that it really hadn’t before.

Submitter, please keep your empties thoroughly rinsed, ok? I hate to think what might happen otherwise …
