Not exactly the smartest move...

[Zander]

There was a story in the papers in the UK just a couple of days ago about a guy who thought he'd won £1 million ($2 million) on the lottery. He danced on his desk and told his boss where to shove his job. Then the guy called the lottery phone number to find out how to collect his winnings. And they informed him that he had got the wrong numbers and hadn't won anything!

Major OOPS there.

I once spent a day begging my bosses to let me go home early because my throat was killing me, but the didn't believe me so they didn't let me go. They apologized immensely the next day when my mother called them to tell them I was in the hospital having an emergency tonsillectomy.

In some ways that can work out better for you. I bet they felt really guilty and treated you extra nice for a while once you came back to work. That's when you milk it for all it's worth!

That is why you wait until you have the giant novelty cheque in your hand.... and THEN tell your boss to shove all manner of foreign objects into his rectum.

More cans

Two people were fired from work here this week for still smelling like alcohol from the night before. Not drunk, but maybe a little residual BAC. They were in manufacturing, general assembly type stuff.

Point #1. It's our busiest time of the year and they are starting work before 6am and working 12 hour shifts including Saturday.

Point #2. It's our busiest time of the year and being down two people hurts the company as a whole.

Point #3. Merry Christmas.

Sometimes working for the man gets me down. This company was founded by a University prof that smoked pot in the office and let people drink on Fridays at their desks. Oh how far we've fallen...

There may be a little legal problem with that firing. The company had better be able to prove that the employees were indeed under the influence or else they may have opened themselves up to a wrongful dismissal case. Furthermore, the company needs a written policy regarding drug and alcohol use.
