Was he a government worker????
At the Dept of Veterans’ Affairs employees and medics routinely skip work, leave early, and play computer games.
He was simply emulating his great hero, Barrrrack 0bama. I bet he was playing golf.
When I first saw that headline my first reaction was that it had to be a bureaucrat or a member of Congress in DC. How many of you thought the same thing?
Does he answer to “Joe Biden”?
I was at a company that had a guy who had taken a job with the company across the street.
He would run back and forth. If people wanted him he was “in a meeting”. He got away with it for about a year.
Even our government requires reviews and interviews occasionally the employees.
It is possible elsewhere to maybe state you are being transferred up north and have payroll still pay you no matter where you go. At least until...
NO doubt his Union rep will come to his defense. And don’t even think about pro-rating his pension.
He may have been such an obnoxious ass that others were glad he was not there.
He could have been their local Bernie Sanders.
He must have had a real essential job....NOT
Was his name Jeb(!)?
There was a guy I knew of at Earthlink (ISP) (where I worked once) that missed most days yet kept his job. He used every excuse he could and somehow kept the job. He only showed up for the last month or so to qualify for the extra money you would get when Earthlink announced they were moving the call center overseas along with Earthlink paying for school.
I imagine he next got a job with the state gov’t and is looking at a fat pension while still not doing any work.
He’s living the dream. LOL!
Are they talking about Joe Biden?
I work at a hospital and we check on pending medicaid applications for patients. When you call the main Medicaid office in Missouri, it depends on who answers the phone.
To check pending apps it requires them to log into a different system.
Some of them do it, no problem. Some say “We can’t do that.” I got kinda snotty one time and said “Well, the person I talked to there not 20 minutes ago could, so why don’t you put someone on the phone who knows how to do their job or give me to your supervisor.” Suddenly, she was able to do it. Go figure. Unless you get a bit nasty, nothing gets done.
The silver lining is that when a bureaucrat misses work, no one’s rights are getting stomped on.
This headline could have easily been about some US senators too.
My brother worked for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (aka:The Gay State) and tells stories that would make this Spanish guy look like a model employee by comparison.
