A friend of mine works for the civil service. One of her colleagues wears slippers at work everyday and does nothing.
Apparently he is "too expensive to get rid of" as he has been there nearly 20 years and they don't have the budget to make him redundant. Ridiculous.

This doesn't apply to everyone who works in goverment jobs, but it does for a lot of them...
... that the only reason those jobs exist and those rolls are filled, is so they can tick boxes such as disabled/minority/single-parents/etc. I think the worst bit is that a lot of them simply just don't care eaither way and might as well have all the emotional and work ethics of a 15 year old on work experiance at McDonalds in his summer holidays.

The trouble is when you get people really high up with that attitude.

i intend to employ a bi-sexual black one legged humpbacked Albanian woman with 6 kids and no husband to fill all these requirements in one employee.
She will be known in the office as The Token.

I like the fact that I miss-read that as "Tolken", as in, the lord of the rings guy, as that sounds like one of his characters.

Tolken or Tolkien it shall be then.
