He is most likely prohibited from bringing in his own computer ,with or without wireless internet.
Putting a "troublemaker" in an office by himself,then enforcing all the workplace don'ts while assigning him no work in the hope boredom and frustration will drive him to quit;it's just wrong.
He cannot just make himself useful since his supervisors must approve work assignments.
I once found myself frustrated daily in a big corporation;the fellow working next to me was doing the best he could,and often overwhelmed,but I was not permitted to assist him,because we had different departmental responsibilities.
Still,$93,000 a year is hard to walk away from,how many Freepers would really do that ?I'll bet the number is a whole let less than the number who'll say they would!
I make a lot more than that and basically do nothing all day as well. The difference is I don't WANT to do anything, and just push off as much as I can to employees.
