From 2014:

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 p*rnography .

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 defec@ting in the hallway.

I am willing to go out on a limb and call this a political hit piece with little credibility even if published through government emails etc…

Useful nonsense.

How about the fellow who pretended to work for the CIA?

2013?

And you suddenly are making the case for what?

Bob remember what happened to Truss in the UK? It is about to happen here.

Be careful what you parrot. The thought process is not even remotely realistic.

Nothing in particular. I found it vaguely amusing. And for you? As is your wont, you deny what you don’t like.

Employers do have situations where employees do things like plug toilets so they run over.

Why do they do this? As a prank? Out of boredom? To impress co-workers?

And if caught at it (on security cameras almost everywhere) can they be disciplined? Fired?

Govt employees? Are you kidding? Maybe they can be transferred to Siberia or worse?

Some employees see their job almost like a prison sentence. They are stuck at it until retirement.

To me this implies a morale problem.
