Social Security Administration takes back reprimand of flatulent worker

The Social Security Administration officially reprimanded an employee whom colleagues accused of continuously “passing gas and releasing an unpleasant odor” that created a “hostile work environment.” After the Smoking Gun posted the reprimand letter online, the agency said it had withdrawn its disciplinary action against the flatulent worker. “When senior management became aware of the reprimand it was immediately rescinded,” agency spokeswoman Dorothy J. Clark said in an e-mail to The federal Eye. The agency did not respond to requests to provide a date for its rescinding action. It also did not answer questions about the status of the employee and what actions the administration has taken to address the concerns of his co-workers in the absence of a reprimand.

I already have flatulence on my permanent record.

Musta raised a SERIOUS Stink about it! :-)!

I’m thinking since I already have flatulence on my record, I can claim it as a disability and help the economy , as Pelosi says, by not working and getting a check from Uncle Sugar.

Wow, this legal ruling is a breath of fresh air.

[History Repeats]

they were told to blow it out their a**.

The Social Security Administration also did not say what action it took against the supervisor who willfully violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. I hope the guy with the gas problem sues.

[rolling_stone]

maybe a transfer to Treasury Dept either ATF or IRS...he would fit right in.

[KarlInOhio]

Maybe the gassy guy could just ask whether anyone saw Charlie Rose last night.

nothing that you have submitted has indicated you would have uncontrollable flatulence. It is my belief that you can control this condition.”

Thanks TurboZamboni.

...whom colleagues accused of continuously "passing gas and releasing an unpleasant odor" that created a "hostile work environment."

Gas he'll get away with, or she will.
