I guess for a company that hires slow people, you wouldn't be able to use things like that.

Hopefully he files some sort of disability claim on it.

He lost his computer through Sunday. I blocked his IP at the router.

Policy of the contract is that if you are calling out, you ensure you talk to or get an e-mail response from person you call out to or you try another way.

Based on the conversation I just had with my site lead, he never even told his own company that he was out either.
He probably assumed you were at a parade and knew you wouldn’t pick up your cellphone.

He said "computer" NN, so he gets to do everything else.

Doesn’t everything run off the same IP? I’m not a computer wizard.

You know what they say about assume.

Besides, he didn't even inform his own company's boss he was out either so stop making dumb excuses for the guy.

He doesn't play anything else besides games on his computer. He only uses his Nintendo Switch when he is away on trips.

And it really shows based on the first sentence.

But just to get more technical for you, I blocked his computer's MAC address from being able to get an IP address from the router.

This will come as a complete and utter shock to everyone, but my boss emailed and said HR decided the employee can either voluntarily resign or get a last and final warning.

I guess I don’t understand the concept of a right to work state if people get a mulligan for every dumb thing they do without actual repercussions.

She came from a nonprofit so I guess it’s about the same as Tritty’s no-profit.
