This guy in my office is drunk again....

[Victory Lap]

This sounds like an espisode of The Office.

Unfortunately I can't tell if he's playing Dwight and you're Jim, or if you're playing Dwight, as the surefire next in line, and this guy is deliberately making "jello with your stapler in it" by mimicking you just to get at you.

I'm guessing it's the former.

Funny you should mention that. There are several of us in the office, including the branch manager, who have dubbed him Dwight, as of about a year ago.

Looks like me at the office. Only I work at a University, and everyone looks like that.

It would be nice to see the black shirt, black pants combo though that's probably hard to get, unless he is stumbling in with a flask in hand.

 

[txboy_in_az]

I'll see what I can do.

Since he copies everything you do, you should walk around the corner, stay for a little bit, then come back and tell drunkass that you just went and slapped so-and-so on the rear end. Then he'll go and actually do it, and get fired for harassment.

Quick, go buy two bluetooth thing-a-ma-bobs and put one in each ear.

Take pics.

Post pics.

 

[ADMIRALSTOCKDALE]

that first pic is much better than the one i got!

hilarious.

we need updates every morning!

 

[txboy_in_az]

Black on black again today, but no sleepy, so it's hard to get a snapshot. Still trying to get one that shows the full blackout!

Sounds like the dude needs a friend. Someone who pays a little attention to him and advises him to get help. Could be the push he's waiting for.

This situation has to be similar to someone stepping in dog poo every day, and coming in the office with it on their shoe.

But, if this is a mortgage office, as I assume it is, many of the "employees" are actually independent contractors. They are not held by the same standard that Boeing holds their employees to.

As long as this individual is producing income for the business owner, I doubt he would ever lose his position. Face it, if you are making ME $50k a year as an independent sales rep, you can sleep at your desk all you want. What the heck, maybe your wife is a b$%^* and you can't stand to be at home. You go out with clients, and buy drinks, a common occurance, what salesman hasn't. Remember, the wife is at home, with her constant nagging. So, you go to the office, only to be berated behind your back by a bunch of pansies who would starve to death if it wasn't for your sales ability, part of which, to them, looks like a "drinking problem".

Or, he may be a total alcoholic loser. If so, fire him immediately. Catch him when he smells like alcohol, get three witnesses, fire him. Simple.

I have seen it from all angles. When my stepdaughter was dying of Cancer, and my ex and I were breaking up at the same time, there were probably some days when I looked and smelled horrible to the folks in my office. Luckily, I was the top seller in the office. She died. The ex left. I am better. SERENITY NOW!!

Don't hate the playa. Hate the game.

 

[txboy_in_az]

If the fact that he is the worst employee I've ever witnessed, who causes grief for everybody else in the office and also causes customers to suffer, and is an embarrassment to himself on a daily basis makes him a "playa", then yea, I guess I'm hating the playa!
