Hey Al.... I would contest your assertion that TM likes this sort of non-empathetic operator as a way to keep up a negative image. Once this sort of person gets away with their act that they are a nice person and gets hired, it is near impossible to weed them back out. Employment laws and unfortunately, ATU, makes it possible for them to remain employed until they have done something terribly egregious and with rock solid evidence. And even then, sometimes a termination gets overturned....it's amazing and disappointing. I've seen incidents where an employee should have been arrested and served time, but they are still employed. Anyways....just sayin' :)

ReplyDelete2. There actually is a (small) break room at Pier Park.

I know it’s a stretch but given what I’ve learned about government I put nothing past them.
DeleteHa....well, yes, in THAT context, I "get it".....
