I actually admire this woman for this.

 

[Leslie]

Good for her. Very good. And they'll probably get boned for it. There's a term for this I can't bring to mind right now, something...virtual firing. She could quit and find something else, but she shouldn't have to.

 

[freako104]

yes but Les she was making 100,000 a year plus benefits. still funny story.

 

[Winky]

I hope her case is thrown out and she is fired from her State job.

 

[Inkara1]

I wish I could find the story of the guy who worked for the California Prison System around here who had the same thing done to him.

 

[Winky]

So Inky would you get a lyer and file
a suit against your employer because
you weren't being worked hard enough
for a 100K?!?

 

[Inkara1]

If it were me, I'd probably be very well-read and well-practiced at Tetris... and a lot wealthier than I am now.

 

[Gonz]

Ethics...I wouldn't work so little for more than a year or two (or three) before resigning my position.

 

[abooja]

I wish this story would get much wider exposure. Why does the state think it's a-ok to waste MY tax dollars on crap like this? For $100,000, she should be going to Brooklyn and shovelling my parents' driveway.

 

[catocom]

Hey, that sounds exactly like my job, ..
er um except without the pay.

 

[ResearchMonkey]

...for another $25k on-top, they could prolly get me to werk from home too.

 

[IDLEchild]

Fuck ethics....if she believed in god well then that was her damn gift from him. 100,000k a year to exist, bloody brilliant.

 

[Thulsa Doom]

So how much would they pay me to look at porn and make long distance phone calls all day?

 

[abooja]

So how much would they pay me to look at porn and make long distance phone calls all day?

Judging by some people I knew at my last job, around $35,000 a year.

 

[Thulsa Doom]

Well what would I have to do for 50?

 

[freako104]

you would also have to use some sort of messenger

 

[abooja]

Well what would I have to do for 50?

Wear pressed pants once a week, laugh at 20% more of the boss's bad jokes, and make annual business trips to Rochester.

 

[catocom]

Well what would I have to do for 50?

cut the long distance phone, and we'll see.

 

[Inkara1]

The answer is now WHAT you would have to do, but WHO.

 

[Thulsa Doom]

geez.... negotiating jobs these days is hell... why dont you order me a pizza while I think about it.
