rant
I think I’m a mean fuck. I just berated Rod the rookie engineer for lending a capital equipment to Elliot the freak - who doesn’t have a security clearance to use that equipment (one would require a security clearance to use it)
“If you want to do charity, you can go buy some wheelchairs for the disabled! This is work, goddamn it… you don’t break rules because you’re compassionate of some dolt who wants a shorcut for his own conveniences!”
It’s sometimes very hard to balance between getting personal and being efficient at work. Somebody tell me I’m doing the right thing…
(no, this isn’t about the boss thing. Rod the rookie engineer is a trainee whom I’m supposed to train up. He’s very way behind schedule now… and I’ll be in hot soup in a month’s time if he’s still as blur as he is today…)
Well, if he is as blur as what you said he is, and if you are quite certain that you’ll be in hot soup in a month’s time, no thanks to him, then I think he deserves it!!! If you need to, kick his ass as well .. muahahh!!

Sounds like managerial material..
If they recruited the wrong person to begin with, then you should get back with HR!
