> [@Maureen](#): > > Three years ago, the dialysis unit and the lab were all in one building and we were a small operation. Corporate was upstairs. Joan worked in A/P. With much the same efficacy, I might add. Well, she sent the rent payment in late, and we were fined $3300.00. The CFO at the time chewed her a new one, docked her pay, and suspended her for three days. She was so mad (because of course it wasn’t her > fault), she ran straight down to her car, spun her tires, sped through the parking lot and _ran straight into a pole._ I still laugh when I think about it. Anyway. When she came back, she went through all the old checks and invoices. Y’see, about two months before that, someone had had their car vandalized in the parking lot, and our company picked up that person’s deductible. I’m tellin ya. It really is that kind of company. I love it. So. She goes to the CFO and tells him “ok, I want my deductible covered.” He looks at her like she’s nuts and says “I’m not paying because you can’t control your temper.” She produces the check and says “you did it for THIS person. You can do it for me, or I’ll see you in court.” He told her go ahead, but nothing ever came of it. I’m sure that if she ever did contact an attorney, they told her she had no grounds. This is still a point of contention, and she feels totally wronged. > Oh, well. No place is perfect, I guess. But she’s decided she’s not doing any work today, and that is about to cease and desist, because as nice as I am (I’m not, really, I’m a total bitch), I have deadlines. Whom is this woman related to and/or blowing, that she still holds employment with your company? ---

She decided to What really makes it funny, though, is that she gives the whole game away by running around caling it “her stereo”.

Great job, **Maureen**. Far too often, people get away with shit like this because no-one has the guts to stand up to them. Good to see one stupid cow get her comeuppance. ---

> [@Mdm. President](#): > > Hello. My Name is Dumass and I don’t get it. > > She wanted to trade him a $20 gift certif for a boom box? Aside from it being dumb I don’t see a problem in asking. Was she planing on keeping the radio even if he had wanted it? Elliot won a prize. Elliot was not there to claim the prize. TC got greedy, and playing “Possession is 9/10ths of the law” decided to stow the prize under her desk and wave a gift certificate that _she_ won in Elliott’s face, hoping to distract him from the fact that she appropriated his fairly won prize, which she wanted and didn’t want him to have. This wasn’t a case of “Oh, trade ya!” at the time of the prize giveaway. This is a case of TC wanting something that wasn’t hers and taking advantage of Elliot’s absence. Very sneaky, to say the least. ---

I think he should offer to trade her the old boom box for the $20.00 gift certificate. Sounds about right to me. Good job! ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > I get in a good two hours before she does. (yes, she does report to me, btw). Since she does report to you and it was a company-sponsored event, how come you haven’t had a talk with her about her work ethics? If she is willing to screw a co-worker, what might she do to the company? Be _doing_ to the company now? Methinks you should consider taking steps to remove her. From what you’ve posted, there has been ample grounds for years to can her. ---

So what would she have done if Elliott had been there to actually claim his prize? Would she have followed him around and badgered him to swap prizes? What a bitch. ---

HA! You know, someone should say to her “Hey, if you’re really nice about it, maybe Elliot will lend you his old one. After all, if it was good enough for him, it’s good enough for you.” It’s surprisingly quite irritating to people who are TCs. And fun for everyone else to watch! Whee! Or maybe she could buy the old one off of him for say… a $20 gift certificate? ---

> [@Cheez\_Whia](#): > > I think he should offer to trade her the old boom box for the $20.00 gift certificate. Sounds about right to me. Ooh, I like it. Only he has to do it just right: “Hey, Joan, I thought about it, and I changed my mind. You still wanna trade your gift certificate for my boombox? Lemme have the gift certificate, and I’ll bring the boombox up.” He, of course, brings the crappy boombox up, and acts all innocent if she gets mad about it. Daniel ---
