HR’s funny side: Somebody’s idea of ‘bathroom humor’
April 14, 2008 by Jim GiulianoPosted in: Behavior, Latest News & Views, Terminations
We’ve seen people come up with some creative ways to quit their jobs and express their dissatisfaction with their former employers. But the actions of one ex-employee of a Washington, DC, lobbying group have to be right at the top – or the bottom, depending on your point of view.
You too have probably seen or heard of some bizarre incidents surrounding an employee’s departure from the company. You ain’t heard nothin’ yet.
Some apparently unhappy ex-employee decided the best way to say goodbye to the Washington, DC, office of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) was to leave a pile of excrement at the office door.
However, it seems that there’s just no privacy these days, because security cameras caught the act on tape, and we’re told experts have been called in to nab the offender (though we’re not sure exactly what sort of expertise is required in these cases).
NAM officials promise that when caught, the perpetrator will be in deep doo-doo.

When I was working in another position one of the employees was terminated for habitual extreme lateness. On the day after her termination the maintenance staff called my office to report that someone (I wonder who.) had smeared excrement all over the toilet seat in the bathroom that serviced that employee’s department (and not too many other people.) This situation had never occurred before her termination and never occurred again afterward.

DNA testing will reveal whose feces it is. All feces contains some DNA of the person who produced it.

It is amazing to me that the government has so many laws and entities to protect the workers, but zero that protect the employer. No doubt this disgusting employee will sue for invasion of privacy and win.
