I find the funniest thing to do with "sleep slackers" is to find humorous ways to wake them up, such as emailing them calendar alarms, setting their phone on vibrate and placing it in their chest pocket, placing their hand in a bowl of warm water from the vending machine, dropping something heavy on their desk, etc etc.
The fun you could have could lead to great amusement ..
Weeing on their crotch works well.

I strained my knee ligaments training, and was in contract. I was given powerful pain killers and for about a week, maybe 10 days, I just couldn't keep my eyes open in the 30mins-hour after I took them. I had to come into work for the final 5 days and used to pop a pill and slip off to the nurses room and have half an hours kip. Another contractor would come and knock on the door if I was needed urgently. All with the clients blessing.

Brilliant idea! My phone is at the ready.Originally posted by doomage View PostThis thread is useless without a video of said slacker posted on youtube.
I'm beginning to think he actually said "I will to be bringing you plenty sleepness" at the interview...
Mind you, he was recruited by another Injun, so maybe they both just had a snooze in the interview room and skipped the rest.

when I worked in China it was perfectly acceptable to put your head down on the desk and have a kip.
...as was hacking up by the lifts and spitting it in the bin.
