Environmental Protection Agency workers have done some odd things recently.
Contractors built secret man caves in an EPA warehouse, an employee pretended to work for the CIA to get unlimited vacations and one worker even spent most of his time on the clock looking at pornography.
It appears, however, that a regional office has reached a new low: Management for Region 8 in Denver, Colo., wrote an email earlier this year to all staff in the area pleading with them to stop inappropriate bathroom behavior, including defecating in the hallway.
In the email, obtained by Government Executive, Deputy Regional Administrator Howard Cantor mentioned “several incidents” in the building, including clogging the toilets with paper towels and “an individual placing feces in the hallway” outside the restroom.
Confounded by what to make of this occurrence, EPA management “consulted” with workplace violence “national expert” John Nicoletti, who said that hallway feces is in fact a health and safety risk. He added the behavior was “very dangerous” and the individuals responsible would “probably escalate” their actions.
“Management is taking this situation very seriously and will take whatever actions are necessary to identify and prosecute these individuals,” Cantor wrote. He asked for any employees with knowledge of the poop bandit or bandits to notify their supervisor.
EPA spokesman Richard Mylott provided the following statement:
“EPA cannot comment on ongoing personnel matters. EPA’s actions in response to recent workplace issues have been deliberate and have focused on ensuring a safe work environment for our employees. Our brief consultation with Dr. Nicoletti on this matter, a resource who regularly provides our office with training and expertise on workplace issues, reflects our commitment to securing a safe workplace.”
If they start throwing poop, they must be committed along with the other monkeys to their local zoo.
Quick! Someone call the F ecal D istribution A gency
Yep. It’s about political influence, control and taking lots of money from other government-connected constituent groups (e.g., pensioners).
Riiiiiight.
Who says that government bureaucrats don’t give a crap about doing a good job?
For a good portion, poster correct on the ‘class’ of employee that eventually is PROTECTED, now with unions, it is even harder to oust them than it ever was.
Guess they figure life is just one party when you have a ‘secure’ job (well— position).
There are definitely some hardworking, dedicated people that work for the Government (all levels) and I think I have met BOTH of them.
Remember the ‘lifes lesson’ we learned (supposedly) at a very early age...
When in doubt just ask yourself what your mother would think of what you are doing.
Of course, if one would have to stop and think about whether or not to take a dump in the passageway, your behavior sort of screams out that your mother wouldn’t GAF if you dumped in the living room or whatever.
Just in the hallway — their offices? — that’s okay.
Back in the early ‘70s the company I worked for (a fairly large semiconductor fab) hired an “environmental engineer.” The guy spent his time wandering the halls, looking up at the ceiling. He was the only engineer that didn’t have a “real” desk. Just a table with a center drawer.
He was known for sleeping on his apartment balcony. Summer, winter, rain, sleet or snow. He eventually left and joined a new agency called EPA.
Starts from the top down at the White hut.
“Management is taking this situation very seriously and will take whatever actions are necessary to identify and prosecute these individuals,”........
Odumbo: “We’re drawing a line in the sand on this”.
I will expect something to happen ONLY WHEN someone craps in one of the golf course holes he play on.
“...who said that hallway feces is in fact a health and safety risk...”
What would we do without ‘experts’.
Habits they picked up at Occupy Wall Street?
“...who said that hallway feces is in fact a health and safety risk...”
“What would we do without ‘experts’.”
WHO would have guessed this?
Personal knowledge?
:-)
Well, the lunatics are firmly in charge of the asylum.
God Bless America.
They dont call DC “The Crapital” for nothing...AKA The Stool of Goverment Power
It’s clearly time to fire federal non-military employees en masse.
