The Bad News Thread

That's just it. I don't think the sleeping bum should be compared to anyone here. Yet it seems most of the outrage here is directed against NCSkins.

He can cast stones all he wants, but I'd say posting pics online plants him firmly on the third floor of a glass house.

Honestly not a shot at you punch but I see so much of that type of attitude. It must be pretty miserable to go through life thinking the whole world is so stacked against you. Like there's some secret cabal of people who keep everyone down.


Hah. Im not a conspiracy theorist or anything. In the workplace there seems to be a feel that once you attain a management position you can rest on your laurels. Or as Al seems to be doing, passing out drunk on them. I dont think the world is stacked against me. I just think that if I were in charge I would tend to train, nurture, and be there for my people. Not take advantage of them and skate through the day.
Edit: today is my day off. Just got a call from someone who is under me looking for a certain computer document. Turns out that my superior dumped his job off on the guy reaching out to me. Without getting into specifics, i stayed on the phone with the kid and walked him through the process. Than called my boss and asked him why the fuck i was getting the phone call? The kid should not have been involved. If I want to i can run it up the flagpole and throw my immediate boss under the bus. Instead I just chose to let him know what he did was bullshit. Sounds like NC has tried to call Al out but nobody gives a shit. So instead he posts his dumbass on the WP so we can all laugh at him. I think that is some harmless venting by NC. That is all. If anybody is against compliance its the sleeping idiot.

Thank you Oh voice of reason. Instead we seem to be harping on what an idiot NC is for exposing the idiots. The powers to be seem to have us rite where they want us - the little people follow the rules and the kings and queens break em. Eff that.

I think the difference is we can all see the sleeping guy is an idiot and slacker (who probably has some serious life issues to boot) but I know that, as much as one can on an internet forum, think NC has head on straight, and called him on revealing so many specifics (ie salary levels and workplace photos) in an online forum. I know that the chances are slim that anything harmful to NC would come of it, but still that its not a good thing to do.

Venting, using pronouns instead of names, general position/salary statements just is the better way to approach it. Its not like we need the pictures to believe that there are employees and managers who sleep at there desk or are incompetent at their position. We all have seen and most have probably experienced it.

Can we agree the picture was hysterical in an office space sort of way. Everytime I look at I think...."what would ya say it is you do here Al?"

Inside the Deep State that conrols the American Empire (http://billmoyers.com/2014/02/21/anatomy-of-the-deep-state/)

There is the visible government situated around the Mall in Washington, and then there is another, more shadowy, more indefinable government that is not explained in Civics 101 or observable to tourists at the White House or the Capitol. The former is traditional Washington partisan politics: the tip of the iceberg that a public watching C-SPAN sees daily and which is theoretically controllable via elections. The subsurface part of the iceberg I shall call the Deep State, which operates according to its own compass heading regardless of who is formally in power.
During the last five years, the news media has been flooded with pundits decrying the broken politics of Washington. The conventional wisdom has it that partisan gridlock and dysfunction have become the new normal. That is certainly the case, and I have been among the harshest critics of this development. But it is also imperative to acknowledge the limits of this critique as it applies to the American governmental system. On one level, the critique is self-evident: In the domain that the public can see, Congress is hopelessly deadlocked in the worst manner since the 1850s, the violently rancorous decade preceding the Civil War.


I'd argue that there is.

I guess you are right. I really don't have the qualities for management material. :joecool:

I do possess the condescending trait so that's one positive for me!!



Going to supervisors would be a good way to handle it, but he instead posted sensitive information online. That's not a great example of keeping things in house. He's a fucking idiot.


Apparently you are management material because you can't even read the simple things. MY FUCKING BOSS KNOWS YOU DIPSHIT. What does going to my boss going to do? He's been sent emails. He's been told to his face. He's been told on the phone. He's been told by other managers. He's seen it with his own eyes. So, exactly what good is going to the boss going to do? No, we've just adapted to make fun of these people now.

You can't even decipher what's going on here, and I'm the idiot? Yet, you have the audacity to proclaim who's management material? Priceless. You know the deal with guys like you? You fear people smarter than you that can expose you for the frauds you really are so you try to beat those into submission with your petty displays of authoritarianism.

Sensitive information? Like what? His address? His social security? His tax ID? So a picture of a dude sleeping at his desk is now "sensitive information?" Wow, is this conversation even taking place?

FYI: Any state employee's salary and position is public information. You can view any of these anytime they want. Online as well.

That's just it. I don't think the sleeping bum should be compared to anyone here. Yet it seems most of the outrage here is directed against NCSkins.


I really don't get it. I really really don't. It's how people are programmed and brainwashed into keeping the system intact, even if it means supporting the corrupt and incompetent people within it.


Here I expose three individuals stealing, falsifying records, sleeping, drinking on job, and boss knowing all this and does nothing after being notified repeatedly...................YET I'm the bad guy for posting the picture of him sleeping.


:frustrated:

Can we agree the picture was hysterical in an office space sort of way. Everytime I look at I think...."what would ya say it is you do here Al?"

I'm glad you enjoyed the funny. We all get a kick out of it too at this point. This was one of the pictures my co-worker photoshopped. I'm posting it since you enjoyed the first. Take note on the white board. Supposed to say "next door". We have a ABC liquor store next door. :|

NC , seriously if what you say is true then think ,"is there something I don't know about the situation", that might keep it from being resolved ?The internet is not the place to make these accusations .
