It appears they are finally going to resurface our street.

See if they will do your driveway so you don’t end up like FT.

The driveway is concrete. Wouldn’t look right. Every house is concrete.

I was doing a report last night and got a text that a tape dispenser had been thrown to the floor. The girl running the line is bipolar and was in one of her funks. But I obviously can’t have someone purposely damaging property.

I look in my email and see she sent in a message earlier “send me home. I don’t want to be here. I don’t even know why I have to work”.

So I went down and she wouldn’t look my direction. I asked what happened and she wouldn’t reply. I asked if the dispenser fell down. She said no. I asked if she threw it on the floor. She said yes. I told her she had to go home and we’d discuss her continued employment tomorrow.

His e-mail today tells me that he's out sick with a viral infection through Friday. He claimed he called me yesterday. No record on either phone. I forwarded the e-mail to my boss and hopefully they still can him. Good riddance.

My boss was really mad at the day he couldn't come to work because of getting drunk the day before and falling down the stairs.
Maybe if you had gone to work on Monday you would have received the message that he would not be at work.

I emailed HR and my boss before I talked to the employee. I asked for them to check the camera to see if there was clear evidence of purposeful damage.

HR replied asking me if anyone saw it, if anyone was over there and if anyone knew how long it had been on the ground.

WTH. I didn’t need her help recreating the scene, I just needed her to look at the camera

Did you punish him for lying?

Hardo. So she could get canned for that?

I know, I just wanted to say Woolverine, sounds like a sewing show.

Exactly, that’s why I asked if she could get fired for that. We have worse daily I suspect. We did have to send out the email again about social media posts.

Not scotch tape

Packaging tape. They’re probably closer to $300.

Or he could have left a message, called my cell phone when he did not get ahold of me, or sent an e-mail.

Based on the conversation I just had with my site lead, he never even told his own company that he was out either.

Only a NN company would pay that. They have handheld ones for $25. Moldy thinks he's high class. Waiting for the excuse of "that won't work".

So he has to job through hoops because of a tummy issue?

My boss emailed today that he thinks it’s time to cut ties with the employee from last night.
