The videotape may be used to show recruits at the police academy what officers should never do.

Ouch. That's never good for the ol' resume.

"Ouch. That's never good for the ol' resume."

Back when I worked at UPS it was pretty much impossible to get fired. Anything short of stealing (which would definitely get you fired) and you'd keep your job.

But what they did was take you out of the operation and send you around to other sites where you had an opportunity to talk to others about your incompetence.

So every once and awhile before the shift started we were gathered into the break room for a meeting. Our supervisor would start with an introduction: "Today we're going to listen to Bob and he's going to tell us how not to be an idiot like him. Bob?"

"Hi, I'm Bob and I'm an idiot. Last month I (blah-blah-blah) which laid waste to eight city blocks and put 12 critters on the endangered species list. Don't be an idiot like me."

It was kind'a surreal.
