Would your employer pay you 400K a year if you were this employee?

Employee statement:

I won the job after a couple of interviews.

I signed a bunch of documents in the first few days. I got a neat office and housing accommodation too. I got this great title. My employer doesn’t want me driving, they take care of all my transportation needs. Wherever I need to go, they make it happen.

I get to meet all kinds of interesting people. About half the people in the company don’t like me,  I get to call them bad names. Unlike in the past, now I am expected to call people names and talk about how threatening they are. I never get taken to HR about it either.

I do most of the things I was supposed to do, and because of my position I can say I’m done by noon.  Then I can go take a nap or two. Whatever doesn’t get done one day can be done the next. Besides there are other people in my office that can do the work.

I “work” from home a lot, I’m often “working” at the beach. Other people get to do that why shouldn’t I? I don’t even think about the cost of guys walking on the beach in suits & ties, or the other guys patrolling out in the ocean away from the beach keeping people away from me.

I get to do what I want and anyone that say I’m doing things wrong is a bad person, who needs to be silenced. Often they are. That makes other people say I’m doing it wrong and bad at my job. I tell them to hush-up, or else…

Would anybody’s employers put up with an employee as described above? 

None of my employers would have put up with me only putting in half a day. None of my employers ever paid me more than 96K per year either, usually I got paid around 55 – 80K per year plus insurance benefits. For that amount of money I was expected to be in the office at least 5 days a week 8 – 10 hours per day and if necessary on weekends.

I’m not complaining about my previous employers requirements, it was the job. I performed the required tasks, put in the time, and got paid. They didn’t care about my politics or personal life, I didn’t care about my coworkers politics or personal lives. We weren’t working at the company as a social event, or to make friends, we were working for paychecks that facilitated our pursuit of goals in our personal lives.

I’m sure you’ve all recognized the person I’m talking about. So I ask you, if this was your gardener, or your pool guy would you keep paying him? I wouldn’t!

So why is this employee still on our payroll?

Just asking.

“To Teach Him a Lesson?” And in doing so you screwed us all? NICE!

John Rutherford, a Republican congressman out of Florida’s district 5. Jacksonville I’m looking at YOU!

John Rutherford headshotAnyway, John Rutherford said recently in an interview that he voted against Jordan over what Rutherford characterized as “personality flaws”, and to “teach Jim Jordan a lesson”.

Oh? What lesson might that be John Rutherford? Are you teaching Jim Jordan that you’re  a vindictive little bitch?

It wasn’t only Rutherfords vote that left Congress without a speaker for more than 20 days and made the Republican Party look like the keystone cops, But his attacks on Jim Jordan have become increasingly personal. 

Okay so he doesn’t like the Jordan… So the Fuck what!

That’s not the point. The Point Rutherford, you pompous, vindictive, shit, is to put the country first. Personal issues between Congressmen should be way the fuck down the line.

I’d like to know what Rutherford is pissed about. Did he discover that Jim Jordan has a bigger dick one morning in the Congressional Gym Locker room?  Lets face it Jim Jordan does have that big dick energy going when he starts asking questions in hearings.

I don’t know if Jordan would have been the best man for the speaker’s job. I do know that we need a speaker to kick Congress in the ass and get shit done.

I hope that Jacksonville has the good sense to give Rutherford his walking papers and replace him with someone who thinks about the Country not just their own ego.

I’m even more confused…

So today, the Capital is overrun with anti Israel protestors.

The Capital Police are calling this a First Amendment thing.

These protestors are obstructing the business of congress, and have apparently caused the suspension of some congressional activities.

Which leads to my confusion…

How is this any different from the events of Jan 6th? Is it only an insurrection when people are protesting about an election? I’m pretty rule based and if I don’t understand the rules I get mighty uncomfortable.

Some of this protest appears to have been incited by incorrect information about the hospital in Gaza that was damaged by a malfunctioning Hamas rocket that was aimed at Israel. As it turns out, the majority of the damage appears to have been in the parking lot of the hospital, not as many reports led us to believe that the missile had destroyed the hospital.

But there are tons of protests occurring all around the world too, again based in / or fueled by this false report.

I really do wonder if our country is already gone. Did the corrupt politicians manage to cut Americas throat while we were distracted by COVID? Just how much of our country have these fuckers sold or given away?
