Someone asked by boss: How many people work here? He said: Oh, about forty out of sixty. If that doesn't sum up the current American workplace, I don't know what does.

40 out of 60? Must have been in private industry and not the government what with over 1/2 working.

That's amazing... a workplace that is 2/3 conservative. I would say it is time to fire the liberal 1/3 of the employees.

That is so true. I worked for the state at one time. How frustrating! I worked so hard while people would leave the office without permission anytime they wanted. Yet, if I got out of my seat to get water to take medicine, I was treated like left the state.

You are sure right about that. We have about 80 in our workplace and some of them it seems are just warm bodies.
