My wife's hamployee (This turned out longer than I expected and is more of a rant) My wife is a middle manager working for a hospital/medical school department at a state school.  Her job description includes a lot of things, one of which is administration. She has a ham who works for her doing admin support, and this ham is terrible.  Hammy is in her late 20s. She has already had a lap band put in. Yup, that's right. She isn't even 30 and already had bariatric surgery. Paid for by her state employee healthcare.  She has lost a little weight since the surgery (she's still almost 300 pounds), but she still eats all fucking day every day. There is a constant sound of wrappers and munching from her desk.  Her latest thing is using Amazon Prime Now to get shit delivered to her at work on demand. Mind you, this girl doesn't make much money, but she somehow affords to have multiple deliveries per week of snack food to her fat ass. It's a minimum $20 order which she fills only with chips and cookies and shit, and then munches noisily all day.  She takes off more time than anyone I've ever heard of because of "illness". A couple days ago she had to leave because "[fupatronic's wife] I know this is TMI but I have bloody stools and need to go home." She overshares about her issues way too fucking much. At least once a week she has to leave early.  Lately it's because she has two dogs she got with her deadbeat husband. She cages two dogs up in one crate all day and watches them via nanny cam, and then has to go tend to them because she fucked up some basic aspect of animal care. She shouldn't have two fucking dogs. If it's not her dogs then it's some clearly obesity related ailment.  This cow has no work ethic. She sits at the front desk munching and staring at her phone. My wife would love to get rid of her but it's basically impossible to fire her (she's not union but might as well be with how the state tolerates substandard workers). She has been documenting every fuck up for months but the central HR person said her offenses have not even egregious enough, even if they're relatively constant (she manages calendars for doctors and is fucking up their appointments/meetings/etc, or forgets to order food [how?] for conferences).  She lied about having her BA on her resume (discovered after she was hired) but according to HR that's not a fireable offense. Short of killing someone I think it would be impossible for her to lose her job.  The other day my wife came home and pulled up a picture of Tess Dumpster and asked if I had ever seen this before (kek thx FPH). She said hamployee was talking about how inspirational she was on her Instagram (my wife follows her Insta to see her post shit like that and a metric fuckton of angled selfies from her desk at work). I laughed and dispensed my knowledge of HAES superstar Tess and my wife was disgusted (possibly because of how much I knew but also because people actually think of her as attractive). Did I mention hamployee auditioned for the Biggest Loser before starting work there? She didn't get on.  I get so angry when my wife comes home frustrated because she feels powerless to manage her own employee. She was running a side Etsy business from her work computer during work hours (manufacturing the stupid shit at work) but all she was allowed to say was "you can't do that anymore."  Our tolerance of stupid fat people bullshit means the working world is full of these turds with no glimmer of hope in sight. Our tolerance for this nonsense will be our downfall.  Fat tolerance is what is making us a second-rate country.
