The latest news says she plead guilty to embezzling over $70,000. The max for wire fraud is 20 years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine, plus restitution. Ouch!! Sentencing is in January.

Yes, you want to fight this kind of BS. Back in the mid 90's I was a Parade Lead at DL. I was called into the managers office and informed that I was said to be "touchy-feely" with some of the females. I knew instantly what this was about - getting rid of a male lead so that another girl's friend could be promoted, and I knew which leads it was. One was a much less than attractive female of 'generous proportions' whom no sober male would get touchy feely with! I had a week earlier put my hand FLAT on the back of her shoulder to get her attention to whisper something to her that needed to be said but couldn't be overheard by a parade performer. For this she reports me? And of course - this sounds like I'm molesting CM's, but since it's not a real written accusation, the women don't have to testify, nor do I have the right to meet my accusers. Luckily, I was able to turn this around completely, and the managers didn't so much as give me a verbal, but I was still very pissed and watched my back with those two. I'm sure it burned them to see their scheme fail.

Me, caught face down on my keyboard in my cube on friday: Boss says "hey man, get under your desk and put the chair in front to help block the light, you'll get better sleep that way. Just try to listen for the phone still, okay?" :D:

Edited to add: but it's so hard to get fired from any real job in DC. They collect evidence of incompetence for months before they'll fire any of the "racially diverse" people for fear that they'll claim racism. This leads to them not being able to fire the white guys for the same reason! It's so dumb...and the collection of evidence takes so much effort that they won't do it unless you're incompetent AND they don't like you!

I honestly don't know how that would be "better" sleep. Seems to me like you would just wake up with a really sore back, unless of couse the desk were really big or something, lol.

How about this one? Two guys from my location were recently termed because one used his Main Entrance Pass to help the other get a really big group into DL. The second guy then paid the first $20 for doing so.

The problem here...they did all this in plain view of the Main Entrance CM, along with at least two managers, apparently.

At least be covert when you're blatantly violating every rule in the book, eh?

And there's one story that my manager mentioned a while ago about someone getting termed for jumping into the Submarine Lagoon, but I'm not sure if that actually happened, or if he was trying to tell us what could get us fired.

A lady who worked for one of the parish school boards recently got fired for stealing over $1 million from the school board funds. She apparently bought a house, two new cars and a boat over a period of about 2 years.

Where did that happen? Was that near me (in DC), or did that just make the papers here all the way from somewhere else?

It sounds like a local story here too, in Denver! They must be doing this EVERYWHERE!
