Inconvenient Help!

Posted on 02/26/2008 3:14:27 PM PST by mbx1231

I need help. My employer is making me watch "An Inconvenient Truth" and there's no way out of it. What movie or documentary can I use to prove an opposing and rational viewpoint?

Well, if he did then I would say that’s the bed he made and now he has to lie in it.

What does the movie have to do with your job? Tell him to go pound sand if your working as say a tax accountant for a law firm. Let him fire you and sue the crap out of him!

Get your employer to put his demands in a signed document.

Write him back stating your fear of watching the movie.

Ask in the letter if you do not watch it will you be fired.

Watch the movie, go to a srink and claim to have PTSD.

Bring a teddy bear to work, hide under your desk, wear 500 sun block and an overcoat inside at your job.

The sue the bastard for 800 millin dollars using The Breck Girl as your Lawyer.

Then have a party and produce tons of CO2

sneak out and set fire to every SUV in the parking lot. Spraypaint “EARTH FIRST!” on the sidewalk.

Then just sit back, and enjoy the fun!

What type of employer do you work for?? Certainly you could answer this simple question.

Go, but ask the others there questions like:
“Who drives SUVs?”
“Who has a home bigger than 1500 square feet?”
“Who keeps their thermostats above 68 degrees?”
“Who wants to pay a lot more taxes?”
“Do you know Al Gore is actually a Junior?”
“How big is Al Gore Jr.’s home”

Either mbx1231 has been taken out by his/her employer, or we’ve been had.

re: Dare we ask the name of your employer (or at least your field of work?))))

Dare we ask if he is in a state that is presently under a record snowfall?

I’m here. I prefer total anonimity because I love my job and my boss is fantastic. It is just that the higher-ups are a bit clueless.

Tell him flat out that the movie is political propaganda and has been disproved over and over again. If he fires you, make a complaint against him at the EEOC claiming that you were fired for not watching political propaganda.

Go along to get along.

Get a new employer "when it's convenient".

Take along a ipod and load it with your favorite book or music.

Sit in the back, close your eyes and enjoy a paid break.

Exactly. Envirowhackos HATE PEOPLE. The actually WANT people to die in poverty and disease to prevent what they see as “overcrowding”. And that JERK with the $35,000 yacht basically saying that the people in that poverty stricken village don’t know how “rich” they are! GRRRRR!

I met the producers this weekend. They have a second film they are trying to get into theater distribution. They showed it at the CA GOP convention. A lot of great side-by-side takes between enviros and coal miners talking about feeding their families. Really brilliant stuff.

Are you a chick? Tell your preferably MALE boss that you’re having “female troubles” and skip it.

And if you’re a guy, tell your preferably male boss that you’re having “relationship troubles.” If he’s PC enough to make you watch this cr@p, he’ll give you a pass if you have cramps, or even if you’re gay and having a spat with your luhv-ah, LOL!

If all else fails, bring a big pitcher of blue Kool Aid along with you to the mandatory meeting and a stack of cups.

Those that are with you will “get it” and laugh and you’ll know who you can form alliances with within the company to head off this cr@p in the future. ;)
