Sticking a bluetooth hands free thingy in their ear the moment they leave the house and on the way home again instantly increasing their working hours, suckers.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

1/ Totally ignoring the company work/life balance and flexible working conditions thereby creating a parallel culture and making life for people who need to use the flexiblilty more difficult
2/ Bringing their newborns in to work so others may fawn.

Nothing against people having children, just leave them at home please.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
