Full blown insanity on display.
We see this kind of “thinking” over and over again. From where does it originate? No logical person could act like this.
Yeah but government(socialism) doesn’t work, is insane, is inherently corrupt, is innefficient (1000x times less than capitalism), and must be kept as small as possible , doing as little as possible.
If the story is complete, this is one time I hope the union and the worker win with full back pay and more. Those who fired him should be terminated instead.
Not that many idiots in the private sector. There is the public sector and then there is Detroit. Detroit’s been governed by idiots for most of 40 years.
..he was suppose to let a mower run over it and destroy the over priced blades
That weapon would have gone in my collection, post haste.....
Whether or not it was wrong to fire the man he did it wrong and left himself open to being charged with any crime the weapon might have been involved in. He should not have touched the piece but rather should have called his supervisor. As a security guard at a resort 7 years ago I found a wallet and hesitated to touch it because of a history of found wallets and purses turning out to have contained some fantastic sums of money according to the owners who then complicated things terribly by charging the finders with theft. On seeing the wallet I fumbled up a procedure that that resort follows still. I called another guard to me. He picked up the wallet with a plastic grocery sack he had found on the ground and together we took the wallet to the office where a third party accepted the wallet with a receipt. He, using the plastic bag, put the wallet in a big envelope and sealed it then writing on it the location and circumstances of its recovery. All three of us signed the envelope. Thus two people were present when the wallet was retrieved and neither’s fingerprints were on it. Since then no one has gone for a lawyer on getting his lost wallet back.

“Not that many idiots in the private sector. There is the public sector and then there is Detroit. Detroits been governed by idiots for most of 40 years.”.........
Well stated. Look at Detroit today and you can easily see what those idiots “management style” is........in one word, “DISASTER”.
HR’s fear of lawsuits keeps inept management safe their entire careers.
There are idiots in the public sector AND the private sector. The difference is that the public sector has NO mechanism to remove idiots. The private sector, with the efficient engine of capitalism, eventually finds and extracts idiots.
Thus, at any one time, the public sector has an accumulation of idiots. The private sector merely has a thin film of idiots that have not so far been identified or caused enough dislocation for that idiot to be removed [yet].
Oh, and the third arena is the private sector of crony capitalism. This sector, however, acts more like the public sector, and thus has a rich accumulation of idiots.
And if this boss is typical I’d advocate arming the employees as a matter of course as well.
“Wayne County, Michigan, Hates Its Workers”
A public employee who mows lawns in parks found a gun laying around where anyone couldve picked it up. Thinking that it was his public duty to turn it in, he called the police. They never came. So he took it to them himself, and for this he was fired from his job of 23 years two years shy of qualifying for his pension. You can read about the details here. Whether the purpose is to encourage park workers to leave guns laying around in parks, or just to save money on pensions, is unclear.
If you would like some clarification yourself, why dont you ask his boss?
His email address is hsaab@co.wayne.mi.us .

Sounds like his supervisor got reprimanded too. Talk about insanity.
So have I.
