My company once fired someone with cause. That person hired a lawyer. My company opted to let them come back to work rather than fight it. That person has been back at work for like two years.

that is amazing. i stand in awe.

One of our new staffing people left for lunch today and never came back. He left his key card under his keyboard. He was here for like a week and a half. He won't answer his phone. Who does that?

You probably made him play cornhole or Fridays are dress wacky days or something

Maybe a rabid anti-dentite

Maybe went home to waldo for lunch and got shot in the face

It's really bizarre. He never reported any frustrations to our managers and we always tried to include him inside the group. Who knows.

Oh man, maybe, but why would you leave your key card under your keyboard and have your contract signed and laid out on his desk for the world to see.

Obviously he didn't want included

Sucks too. He was one of the few black people we had in our office. This is really going to hurt our diversity numbers.

It's going to be awkward when he comes back next week.

Super duper trashy. Think Woody Harrelson in Kingpin.

So you probably remember that on Friday I learned that Hanakin means Flower Friday which means TGIF/happy Friday.

Anyway I looked up that Monday is Getsuuyobi so when everyone got in the office this morning I said "Hanagetsuu!" and they all RORed their asses off like I made the most hilarious joke ever.

"No! Not Flower Monday! Monday horrible!"

I was out super sick yesterday, but FTR, this guy never came back. They changed our key code and everything to get into work on Saturday.

This one is pretty rich, guys. So in my office when you want to take time off you send everyone a calendar invite. So this guy...we'll call him Mike, has a last initial of F so when he sent his calendar invite it said "Mike F OFF" oh man that Mike! What a character!

It's not racist if I say it here. Kind of an "our word" situation. It's racist if you say it in America, because you are making fun of Asians. If I say it here, I am making fun of an interesting linguistic quirk of people with totally different mouth sound arsenals trying to interact.

I am reviewing a set of plans right now where they are batting less than .500 on getting R/L and B/V correct. Might have been better off flipping a coin.

Imagine being totally blind to there being any difference between the two letters and totally deaf to any difference between the two sounds.
