Welcome to IWETHEY!

New a colleague vents
A longtime employee here—actually slightly higher up the food chain, although I'm senior in terms of tenure—was hauled up this morning before one of the new young managers here and raked over the coals for "unprofessional conduct." And the nature of the said conduct? It is his practice (he's sixty-five) to retire during the lunch hour to the first-floor "break room" (equipped with a mini-fridge and a microwave oven and several tables and chairs), there to cradle his head in his arms and nap for half an hour. This has apparently been observed and reported, and the whippersnapper manager, who probably spends his lunch hour contriving ways for BDS to crawl farther up the ass of Homeland Security, warned him that he was displaying an "unconstructive attitude." Apparently it is now considered just short of a fireable offense to sleep during the work day. Would that, for example, the federal government had applied this standard during Ronald Reagan's employment: the republic might have been spared a lot of grief.

My target date for bailout is about four years and a month from now, but if they piss me off sufficiently I'm prepared to leave BDS behind early in 2018. God, I hate this place.
New So, they've never heard of a "power nap"?
Ignorant assholes!

Wiki:

People who regularly take power naps may develop a good idea of what duration works best for them, as well as what tools, environment, position, and associated factors help induce the best results. Others may prefer to take power naps regularly even if their schedules allow a full night's sleep. Mitsuo Hayashi, PhD and Tadao Hori, PhD[1] have demonstrated that a nap improves mental performance even after a full night's sleep. New sleep sensors and sleep timers available on several mobile devices allow advocates of power naps to sleep for exactly as long as they would like to.
My emphasis.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov
New Countdown
Six years, four months, eight days... Give or take.
New {sigh}
Something is broken on the Karma-machine.. I know you'd never kick a puppy, cat ... OK maybe a raccoon.

But to be interned in a zoo run by smart-ass young Turks Fucks, with nothing at all on minds but to imagine a perfect-conformity to some made-up Psych-101 model from MBA tot-school, while one is also a provably sentient Being: leaves no other explanation (since clearly this sort of mental-midgetry is on the ascent all over the dis-US.)

Alas, this reminds of--from eons back--a worthy at The Phone Co. in SF, and his comments about their policy of regularly twitting those near retirement.. in hopes they will flat-Leave/save $$, all of which seemed unusually Crass ... back then. Clearly the switch is now fully accomplished: employees are Liabilities not Assets, and the new crop of lackadaisical callow yout have found their means for demonstrating that their ignorance beats anyone's knowledge. That mindset shall lead each to his own hideous denouement, but who can wait for that comeuppance? if Karma-itself has been hacked.

Obviously the collective (millions) are doomed. Alas, remedies I'd be prone to are all illegal, immoral or both, (but offer at least a certain and savage satisfiction.) I sincerely hope you can contrive to bear the countdown, sans irreversible damage to vital organs. Should you choose the massive excoriation route at some juncture? I'm good for bail, while matters get sorted (or even sordid.)
There but for the grace of random chance, in early choices..

New followup
Oh, it gets worse. Colleague tells me this morning that during his accustomed nap he unbuckles his belt as he bends over the table (face cradled in folded arms), so that the buckle does not impact his belly. So apparently the bill of particulars is: You were discovered alone in a room with the lights out and your pants practically down! IOW, he's accused of onanism during business hours.

If BDS gets any stupider, we're going to have to water it twice a day.

cordially,
New :-( I hope he, and you, can stick it out until the time is best for you.
New At a former employer ...
They distributed a new employee handbook, calling special attention to the addition of a paragraph saying that during lunch breaks we were not to sleep in our cars in the parking lot.

New I trust that--to a Man--all immediately drove elsewhere
..most returning for another dose of Infantile-paraysis/new strain, (ramapant in all MBA-mills yet tested.)
Some .. maybe a bit late? One hopes that a few Key-inmates, easily re-hirable: just split?
How did Suits get so Dumb, so soon after childhood games just like normal people.

Y.P.B. :-)

(I guess this also could fall under the umbrella-projections of G. Orwell/Mr. Blair's earliest known model for an Exceptional-dis-USA.) Seems close-enough.
Can we now elect Him US Prophet Laureate and start killing-off us dissidents Officially?
(When they come for You, be sure to join me in ratting-out every Repo in your addy book: as a Closet-RINO, dedicated to Communarian-Socialist-Armageddon)
We're already familiar with an earlier CSA with weird aims ISTR.

Maybe print-up a few Membership Cards? given the local skillz.. for each perp? Then make a fuzzy copy to hand over. Perhaps chaos IS the best revenge.. ;^>
