I was telling my sister about this thread, and she insisted that I needed to add what is going on at the hospital where she works (a well-known west-coast chain).
The hospital has a "no-fire" policy, and they carry this insane, politically-correct format to incredible extremes.
There are two women there who are total freaks, and drive everyone else crazy: they have 'mooned' fellow employees, have grabbed male co-workers genitals, call to each other with loud gorilla sounds, hump each other, get into other employees' private e-mails, refuse to do their work, and go joyriding during work hours, etc, etc, etc.
And there is a guy who simply refuses to work. He just shows up so he can collect his paycheck.
They used to have a manager who was so nasty to everyone that they transferred her to another hospital. No one knows what she did, but she DID get fired, which was a shock to everyone. The only other firing in the system that anyone can recall is when a male nurse dragged an old man down the hall (on his back) to his room by his feet, which resulted in a lawsuit.
Corporate insanity has reached a new high in American business. Or is that a 'new low'?
