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 pornography.
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 defecating in the hallway.
In the email, obtained by Government Executive, Deputy Regional Administrator Howard Cantor mentioned “several incidents” in the building, including clogging the toilets with paper towels and “an individual placing feces in the hallway” outside the restroom.
Confounded by what to make of this occurrence, EPA management “consulted” with workplace violence “national expert” John Nicoletti, who said that hallway feces is in fact a health and safety risk. He added the behavior was “very dangerous” and the individuals responsible would “probably escalate” their actions.
“Management is taking this situation very seriously and will take whatever actions are necessary to identify and prosecute these individuals,” Cantor wrote. He asked for any employees with knowledge of the poop bandit or bandits to notify their supervisor.
EPA spokesman Richard Mylott provided the following statement:
“EPA cannot comment on ongoing personnel matters. EPA’s actions in response to recent workplace issues have been deliberate and have focused on ensuring a safe work environment for our employees. Our brief consultation with Dr. Nicoletti on this matter, a resource who regularly provides our office with training and expertise on workplace issues, reflects our commitment to securing a safe workplace.”
Pretty much a good idea everywhere.
Government employees: They are not the brightest bulbs on the tree..................that’s why they are government employees................
FAA had someone that liked to do it in the top drawer of managers.
They had to bring in an “expert”
People who do not interface directly with federal bureaucrats have NO idea what these people are like. Crooks, grifters, bums, drunks, etc. The lowest of the low.
And they can get away with it. They are the government. So shut up.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet your ruling class.
Now we know where Somali ‘refugees’ get hired.
Clearly these are people who are both deeply warped and absolutely sure they cannot be fired.
Pity it wasn't the same title...would've saved me some time.
Was he a scatologist?...................
Must have been really tall................
I have never been in a workplace where anyone has done anything remotely like this — and I’ve been in some pretty rough and crass workplaces. This is evidence of mental illness, which is a statement about who gets hired by the EPA.
Tyrants.
LOL
Well - more evidence of degeneration of civilization.
What difference does it make? - Hillary Clinton
