Another Tale of Two Idiots:
St. Louis’s personnel chief used a city car to run a quick errand (133 miles, 2 hours) to Jefferson City for personal reasons. When she was called on the carpet for it, she said, “Sorry,” and repaid $170 for costs incurred. Not sure how she forgot that it was a violation of policy—also of common sense and fiscal responsibility—but she did make restitution.
The mayor decided that the personnel chief should be fired. According to—well, everyone—nobody in the history of finagling or outright cheating has ever lost a position over $170. (Though I would support a demerit in the HR file.) The mayor denies that the attempt to fire the personnel director is politically motivated, even though nobody can think of any other reason.
Keep ’em coming, folks. I’m sure the readers can use a few laughs.
