Since I can't complain to much to the people around work, I thought I would do it here.

First of all, I am a Corporate HR Manager and I deal with a lot of bullshit.  People can be dumb and are are always trying to cheat the system.

For example, there was an employee that we terminated for consistent tardiness and I mean late.  As a company we are pretty forgiving, but I mean he was late over 15 times over a 3 month period.  I am not talking about 5 minutes late, I am talking about half an hour up to 4 hours.  We did the normal write ups and warnings where we finally let the dumbass go.  Then we get a letter that he is claiming discrimination because he says that were terminated him for being gay.

This is where the system is messed up.  During mediation we ended up paying him $1750 to "make him go away", where we did nothing wrong.  If we were to go to trial, we would end up having in intital lawyers fees of up to over $4000, so we pay this lying piece of shit a nuisance fee.  Things like this cost companies more money and people wonder why companies lose more and more money these days. 

Everyday, I have more and more stories of employees that try to cheat the system while hard working people pay for it.

There are two kinds of people in this world, those who do and those who don't. Those who don't will always take advantage of those who do! That is the only way they can get ahead (or think they can)! Karma will serve him up later. ;)
