The 7 Stupidest Employees Ever?

I came across this article today:

The 7 Stupidest Employee Mistakes Ever

I’ll be honest – calling these the 7 stupidest employee mistakes ever is quite an exaggeration. I mean, sure, everything everyone in the article did is stupid, but stupidest ever? Hardly. Heck, one woman didn’t even get fired, she just got transferred. I’m sure we could easily find examples of much stupider behavior without a whole lot of trying (feel free to supply your own in the comments!)

But it’s still entertaining to read about other people’s stupidity, and we can learn a few quick lessons from their mistakes:

Don’t Document Your Malfeasance

Writing a 300 page document about how you’re not working? On your work computer?? Dumb, dumb, dumb. I’m all for the power of Morning Pages and journaling, but not on the computer at work.

Don’t Broadcast Your Malfeasance

Not that I advocate skipping out of work or trying to pull one over on your employer, but for the love of God if you are going to do that, don’t send out Twitter updates about or post Facebook pics of you skipping out on work. Dumb, dumb, dumb. I am all for firing these people, not because they lied about missing work, but because I wouldn’t want someone stupid enough to post photographic evidence of their malfeasance on-line…

Don’t Sleep On The Job

Port authority guards sleeping on the job?? Dumb, dumb, dumb. Good to know our borders are so secure.

Don’t Break The Law

Selling senate seats?? Faking Pulitzer Prizes?? Dumb, dumb, dumb. If this one needs to be explained to you, you don’t deserve a job…

Think And Double Check Before You Hit “Send”

I just wrote a post about this (Twitter Stupidity Can Get You Arrested ). Dumb, dumb, dumb. I’d like to believe that someday people will get smart enough to think twice (and double check their recipient list) before sending something offensive, sensitive, or inflammatory. I’d like to believe that, but I ain’t holding my breath…

Are these the “stupidest mistakes ever”? No. But are they still very stupid mistakes that you should make sure to avoid? Without a doubt…

    Thanks Pea!

    Ruben – the article I linked to has 7 stupid employees. My article just pulls five lessons out from those seven examples.

    Açıkçası ben de merak ediyordum. Bazı adresler çalışmıyor. En sonunda güvenilir adrese ulaştım.

    Spor bahislerinde iddialı olanlar buraya. Uyarıları dikkate alarak sistemi kurun. Giriş adresi aynen şu şekilde: 1xbet spor bahislerinin adresi 1xbet spor bahislerinin adresi. Kısacası — 1xbet güncel adres arayanlar buraya baksın.

    Para çekme işlemleri sorunsuz. Kendi tecrübemi aktarayım — deneyen memnun kalmış. İyi eğlenceler…

    Açıkçası ben de bu konuda epey araştırma yaptım. Herkes bir şey diyor ama kimse net konuşmuyor. Gerekli teknik incelemeleri tek tek tamamlayıp sistemi test ettim. En sonunda güvenilir bir kaynak buldum ve size de aktarayım dedim: 1xbet spor bahislerinin adresi 1xbet spor bahislerinin adresi. Kusura bakmayın da durum şu — bu işin ehli belli başlı yani.

    Hiçbir sorun yaşamadım bugüne kadar oynarken. Kendi adıma konuşuyorum size açık açık — en memnun kaldığım yer burası oldu kesinlikle. Hayırlı olsun herkese diliyorum…

    Знаете, ситуация — человек в запое , а что делать — просто руки опускаются. Я сам через это прошел пару лет назад . Сначала кажется, что обойдется , но хрен там. Нужна профессиональная медицина. Обзвонил десяток контор — сплошной развод . Пока не нашел один действительно рабочий вариант. Нужна срочно анонимное лечение алкоголиков — не ведись на дешевые акции . У нас в Воронеже, кстати , хватает левых контор без лицензии. Реальные контакты ниже по ссылке: лечение наркозависимости воронеж https://narkologicheskaya-pomoshh-voronezh-12.ru Честно скажу , после того как прочитал , понял свои ошибки. Там и про вывод из запоя , и про условия в клинике. Плюс работают круглосуточно — это важно . Советую не тянуть .

    Случается сплошь и рядом — человек пропадает , а что делать — непонятно . Моя семья столкнулась лично . Пьют успокоительное, но хрен там. Требуется реальная помощь . Обзвонил десяток контор — одни обещания . А потом наткнулся на один действительно рабочий вариант. Если ищешь где получить круглосуточная наркологическая помощь — не рискуй здоровьем близкого. У нас в Воронеже, кстати , хватает шарлатанов .

    1xbet indir nasıl yapılır diye çok araştırdım valla. Apk dosyasını nereden indireceğimi bulmak çok zaman aldı. Adımları doğru sırayla uyguladıktan sonra erişim sorunsuz açıldı. En sonunda güvenilir bir kaynağa ulaştım ve size de tüm detayları aktarmak istedim, güncel bilgilere buradan bakabilirsiniz: xbet indir xbet indir. Yani anlatmak istediğim şu — telefonuma indirdikten sonra çok memnun kaldım.

    Hiçbir sorun yaşamadım indirme işleminde. Birçok platform denedim ama en iyisi bu çıktı — başka yerde vakit kaybetmeyin yani. Umarım siz de memnun kalırsınız…

    Alright, real talk about the Miami rental game — it’s a straight-up jungle out here. You find this amazing deal online: brand new Beamer, unlimited miles, price that makes you smile. Plus they freeze $2500 on your card for a week. Eight years in South Florida and these clowns still almost get me. miami luxury car rental. anyone who’s waited for an Uber in August understands. leather seats that won’t weld themselves to your thighs in July. I’ve run through maybe 45 rental companies across Dade, Broward, and Monroe. what you book is what shows up, no surprises, no fine print nightmares. Here’s the only honest source for premium wheels across South Florida

    Наболело уже, честно говоря — где брать адекватные тарифы для платежей за рубежом. Пока сидел искал инфу — обязательно гляньте этот источник: онлайн переводы денег за границу https://mezhdunarodnye-platezhi-tov.ru Если по делу, то — курс валют может убить любую выгоду. Согласитесь любой перевод за границу онлайн — это лотерея с банковскими процентами. Обратите внимание — перед финальным кликом обязательно сравните хотя бы пару вариантов. В противном случае легко попасть на лишние траты. Короче — стоит один раз разобраться.

    Been playing at true fortune casino for a good few months, and tbh it’s grown on me. Playing from the UK so I always look at payments and licensing, and it’s all been smooth enough.

    Game-wise there’s a proper big spread, reckon it’s 2,000 slots and table games if not more. You’ve got Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play’n GO, Yggdrasil and Big Time Gaming represented. I mostly spin Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza, but finding a specific slot takes a minute. For live casino fans, the tables run on Evolution — proper croupiers, blackjack, roulette and Crazy Time and the other game shows which I get sucked into more than I should.

    The welcome side of things, what you get starting out was pretty generous — a deposit match and a load of spins on top. Do read the wagering first, I think it was 35x which isn’t the worst but still catches people out. There’s usually a no-deposit chip floating around too, so you can see what’s live at true fortune 25 chip rather than taking the first thing you see. You can start with a tenner, think it was a tenner, so no need to commit much to test it.

    Cashouts are the bit I care about most. Payments-wise I stick to Visa and Skrill, and they take crypto and Bitcoin if you prefer. The money hit my wallet within a day or two, though there’s the usual pending period. One gripe — the KYC docs bounced once which was faffy.

    Runs fine on mobile — no app needed, plays smooth on the phone. Live chat has been decent, got a human fairly fast. It’s licensed, which is the main thing for me. It’s not flawless, but I keep coming back so that says something.

    بصراحة أنا بقالي شوية أشهر بلعب على المنصة دي من الموبايل، وفكرت أقولكم اللي شفته علشان في ناس بتتخبط عن موضوع برنامج 888. أول حاجة لفتت نظري إن فيه كم ألعاب ضخم، بيتكلموا عن أكتر من 2500 لعبة سلوتس تقريبًا، ومش كلها حشو زي بعض المواقع التانية.

    مطوري الألعاب كلها بروڤايدرز كبار زي Pragmatic Play وNetEnt. أنا بلعب كتير على سويت بونانزا وجيتس أوف أوليمبوس، وأحيانًا بلف على Book of Dead. اللي مبيحبش السلوتس فيه قسم الكازينو الحي من Evolution بموزعين حقيقيين، وألعاب زي Crazy Time بتحسسك إنك في كازينو حقيقي.

    موضوع العرض الترحيبي محترم صراحة: أول شحن بياخد مضاعفة 100% ومعاه لفات مجانية، وفيه حاجة بسيطة من غير ما تشحن لو بتحب تجرب الأول. بس خليك واخد بالك من الـwagering اللي حوالي أربعين مرة — دي حاجة كتير بينسوها. لو عايز تعرف تفاصيل التنزيل روح لـ تحميل برنامج المراهنات 888 قبل ما تسجّل.

    اللي مريّحني إن طرق الدفع كتير: فيزا وماستركارد، وسكريل ونتلر، وكمان عملات رقمية زي البيتكوين. الـwithdrawal بيجيلي بسرعة معقولة، مش زي مواقع بتماطل أسبوع. التسجيل نفسه سهل وسريع، والحد الأدنى للإيداع صغير.

    عيب لازم أقوله إن الدعم مش دايمًا سريع الرد، ومرة استنيت شوية على الشات. غير كده تحميل التطبيق للأندرويد بيطلب إعدادات يدوية شوية، حاجة عادية بس مبتدئ ممكن يلخبط. الأبليكيشن سلس على الموبايل وبيجيله تحديثات باستمرار.

    في العموم أنا مبسوط أكتر مما توقعت، والتطبيق بقى أساسي على موبايلي. فيه ليسنس معلن على الموقع، وده حاجة مهمة وانت بتحط فلوسك. لو حد جرّبه يشاركنا.
