A Matter of Fact and Law

07/24/2008

I have a co-worker who is fairly new to my department, but a long time employee of my organization. She is also my current nomination for the person most likely to get fired. I say this, not because I dislike her, which I do, for let us be honest here, she’s bat shit crazy, but because she has taken to giving the art work on the walls away to other people who work for our company. I KNOW.

There is bat shit crazy, and then there is this lady. I am not entirely sure what she was thinking, but funnily enough, she tried to give the art away to someone else and our director explained that she couldn’t do this as it was illegal to give away company property (like this is something that needs to be expressed out loud in actual words). As my co-worker proceeded to go ahead and give the art to yet another co-worker our director is now in a really awkward position. I don’t know how things are going to turn out, but I expect that firing Friday* will make a showing in my department.

*HR is located off-site except for Fridays when they sit in the same hallway in which I work. On Friday afternoons there is the stream of managers and employees: two go in, one comes out. It’s always interesting to see the reactions.
