People hardly ever get what they deserve

[PugnacAutMortem]

I wish that everyone got what they deserved in life, but it seems like the liars/cheaters/thieves get ahead and honest, hard-working folks get left in their dust. It's been a fun last few weeks of work...

So this guy at my work has now been caught twice either stealing by coming in on a weekend, clocking out, leaving and then coming back 11 hours later and clocking out (and lying about it)...or doing something highly illegal that could possibly be a horrible financial disaster once all of the lawsuits and fines shook out. Both times, he talked his way back into a job with zero reprocussions. Needless to say this guy now feels invincible. And why shouldn't he? He can basically do whatever the hell he wants and keep his job. Of course, this guy makes a ton more money than I do. I guess an uneducated, lying former drug dealing d-bag is more valuable to the company than a college educated, honest, hard-working person who does their jobs the right way day in and day out

Sorry...had to vent. The equity in this world has been severely skewed in the wrong direction and it's been extremely frustrating recently. I guess I'll just have to keep banging my head against the wall until I'm 65 and can retire (most likely uncomfortably).

Wait are you a .gov contractor too?

It all works out in the end, it's just that sometimes since you don't get to see the score at the end of the game you feel cheated in the meantime. Keep doing the right thing.

I learned long time ago that if I worry more about my own work, opportunity, and future than others' - I sleep better at night. Ignore that loser, you are better than him and others will see that soon or later.

That's the hard thing is they may not get what's coming until the very end. I suppose I should take solace in the fact that eventually he will get what he deserves, I just may never see that day.

That is my usual modus operandi...I just thought for sure he was getting canned this time. I think I'm still reeling from my heartbreaking non-winning lottery ticket from last week, I might be a bit more sensitive to this kind of crap than usual

I blame the unions. They're the only ones that condone this behavior.

good luck. Do what you gotta do to get your business done.
