KC Star's Behind-The-Scenes Look At Working For The Chiefs

That changes the whole dynamic.

It would never even occur to me to just throw a candy wrapper on the floor, nor even the ground outside! that’s just kinda low class in general.

Anywho, I also don’t get this presumption that EVERY employee that gets fired is simply fired because they are the lazy, do-nothing losers at work. To just ASSUME that everyone is fired because they are that is total bullshit!

Age discrimination is rampant now. Being discriminated against and getting harassed to the point you quit, or are inevitably fired, because you’re fat is rampant. Not toeing and conforming to the party line period is grounds for getting the axe. Or just not fitting in with everybody else will get you the same treatment. And for many years now, just cutting the number of employees to reduce costs period is the ONLY reason.

Actually, if you’re the ass kisser, you get to keep your job even if you don’t do much – except personal favors and errands for your boss. And then you even get promoted! And then you get to do even less!

Just different ones, and for different reasons.

The left-siders want to do exactly the same things as the right-siders – just about differing things. ;+)

And yes, many gubmint wokers are bureaucrats that purposely infiltrate and change the gubmint system to force their beliefs on society thru the brute force of government and law. And then you have the politicians that are supposedly “democratically” elected that are bought off by special interests groups wanting all kinds of things. That’s ONE reason why labor unions, civil rights groups or any other socio-cultural group HAVE to amass money to get their rights granted and/or protected to them; they gotta buy off the politicians to write, introduce and support the legislation! Or appoint the judges, or appoint the executives and bureaucrats.

For instance, I’m an absolute believer in the right to bear arms – and thus the right to self-defense. And even have a CCW permit because of all the whackjobs that live and run around here; meth cookers, pot growers, burglars and robbers. I DO NOT want to be automatically FORCED to be possibly a helpless victim of those types. I just have the right to have a chance at a fighting chance of defending myself. And so does any other decent person.

Just because some don’t believe in self-defense, or don’t like guns, or don’t have any desire to own a gun doesn’t mean they have the RIGHT to take away my rights to self-defense and gun ownership. Just as I don’t have the RIGHT to FORCE them to own and carry a gun! Its a RIGHT to the FREEDOM of CHOICE too, or not.

Now, however, the question becomes: to what degree does the gubmint have a reasonable right and responsibility to regulate my right own and carry a gun – for the protection of others in society? Yes, I fully support background checks trying to make sure that VIOLENT felons, and/or individuals with a verified history of VIOLENT mental conditions just can’t walk into a gun store and buy a gun no questions asked.

And in my case, to get a CCW, I had to: complete what’s supposed to be a more thorough background check than this computerized insta-check that gun stores do, and had to go take and pass a gun safety course out here at the local rod and gun club before I could get the permit. I had no problem with doing those things – although I sure as hell didn’t like paying the gun club 300 bucks for the course! And 75 bucks to the state for the permit, lol.

But I think that’s an example of REASONABLE regulations and requirements to exercise my right to own and carry a firearm for self-defense; they don’t absolutely ABOLISH my right to! But many want to absolutely abolish my right to … and that’s what’s WRONG and UNACCEPTABLE to and for me!

I’ve worked with some (some) good ones. But, the problem is that they know who the shitty ones are, just like everyone does, but the company can’t get rid of them because their “brothers” shield and protect them. And, so, those lazy ones keep getting by, getting the same raises. The rest of the crew then see this and get lazier also. In order to get something done the company has to hire even more workers to do the same work that used to get done – which was the union goals in the first place – and the cycle continues. This is why so much of american business has been destroyed through the years. Auto industry, steel industry, …

Also, I’ve never seen any union actually train any of their workers as they claim to.

I’m more concerned with the productivity of people working in an oppressive environment. Apologies if this is more topic switchiing.

hiya Prof :-)

you guys are going on about “accountability” … ok fine, whose job was it to clean stairwells? janitorial one would assume … so instead of calling maintenance and saying “hey, let’s be sure to keep these stairwells clean” he makes a federal case out of a candy wrapper … micromanagement couple with paranoia

not the way to run a business

and everyone else was too lazy to bend down to pick it up

and that’s where his attention should be? his focus should be on a fucking CANDY WRAPPER?!?

talk about misplaced priorities …
