Our administrative assistant stole about 100K worth of stuff.   She was basically tacking a bunch of stuff onto every order - Xboxes, big screen TV's, all sorts of stuff.   They canned her and didn't bother pressing charges.   Her husband actually works for the company as well and they kept him on because "they couldn't prove he knew anything about it".

 

If husband now pilfers 100K, he has a legal defense - They said it was okay!

ETA: Why would anything have to be proven before terminating the guy?

Who knows.  They kept a guy on that fell asleep at his desk while on a support call with one of the execs, who later in the same day slept through a fire alarm drill because he came clean that he was on a coke binge.   Guy told me that his drug tests came back positive for coke and they were all like "good thing you're honest - we thought you were on heroine or something".    It's a strange place.

Well there must be a whole lot of Progressives in the country then. 

 

 

A majority of Americans feel today’s children will have it harder than their parents had it, a new Rasmussen Reports survey finds.

According to the findings, 53 percent of Americans think today’s children will not be better off than their parents were, down 6 points from a September survey and the lowest percentage since July 2009.

Only 24 percent said today’s children will see better days than their parents did, up a percentage point from a month ago and well above the 18 percent reported a year ago.

Nation of whiners indeed.  No effing way I want to go back to when my parents lived. 

 

I think kids today who get an education are going to be much better off.  The ones that don't will have worse lives. 

Certain aspects that were the norm of their time are preferable to today's norms IMO.   Moms actually being home to raise the kids is among them.

Actually, this isn't what Run It Up was saying.   Our kids lives will merely be equally ####ty, which is still good from a historical perspective because we're at our peak of non ####tiness.   We've just stopped progressing.   Or something like that.

How is it a fallacy if all I've done is repeat what you've stated and made a few projections from it, and here you are even agreeing with the projections I made from these statements?    The only thing I misstated was that you said our kids lives will be ####tier when what you actually seem to have been saying is that they will merely be equally ####ty?
