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. EPAs 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.
It sounds like a poop party...
They said plural for (individuals).
Bad enough if just one person was doing this...
This happens in hospitals; recent third world immigrants who have come to the hospital for whatever reason, often do not understand the concepts of toilets, and will defecate in the lobby, the hallways, etc.
Ping
Pinged a previous pooping, pthanks.
Bammy needs to get to the “bottom” of this!
The EPA creates its own hazardous waste dump. It’s not an environmental biohazard when they do it.
Odumbo: Were drawing a line in the sand on this
Odumbo: Were drawing a line in the cat litter full of poop on this
I have no words...
