In all seriousness, if this is true I wish Foo all the best and I'm sure it will end up working out for the better.

im sure he has that option, but i was thinking more in the lines of lawyering

Uh huh. Typical sho. Flip flopping his position around again.

I do my share of farting around, but I don't bill clients for it!

Okay, converting this word doc to a pdf and uploading it to the Federal Court.....5.5 hours.

Kidding!

+1.

I pretty much leave a browser up with email, SF, and news on my desktop. Since most of what I do is responding to emails, paperwork, and various projects with excel and SPSS, I will surf throughout the day. Everything gets done on time.

You're right. It's about the poor chap you fired for having an addiction. Did you seek help for him? Is this not covered under the ADA, and did his disclosure not compel you to offer him help rather than termination?

^^^ I think

might be addicted, too.

Bzzzt sorry. Plenty of assholes sit at their desks with magazines or newspapers.

A call center I worked at in college noticed that more and more day shift employees were bringing crap like that. The official stance was that it was ok if it didn't affect sales.

Guess what? It affected sales. Banned all reading materials at your terminal.
