Stupid Employee Tricks

This is a true story – it happened yesterday.

My wife is a department manager.  One of her employees is a 60-ish man who’s just coasting until retirement.

Yesterday, she walked into his office.  He was leaning back in his chair, head back, and SNORING.

So, she walked up to his desk and shouted: “WAKEY, WAKEY, EGGS AND BAKEY!”

He jumped up and quickly grabbed his mouse to make it look like he was working.  In doing so, the screen saver disappeared and revealed a 1/2-completed game of Solitaire.

He’s a diabetic.  He claimed that he fell asleep due to low blood sugar (apparently ignoring the hypnotic effects of Solitaire).  So, he proceeds to get out his testing kit and take a reading in front of my wife.

He came up with 142 – which is HIGH, not low.

(Yes, she gave him a verbal warning and she’s gonna document it today.)
