BillyVance 34 #1 August 2, 2010 I'm just curious, no I don't work, but say you had a co-worker that was being a royal PITA and has been messing with the thermostat, causing all kinds of havoc with the HVAC system, how would you deal with that? One of our own posters dealt with this situation by removing the thermostat control off the wall. Now the co-worker is PISSED. And had the audacity to call the engineering department to report the missing control, and got an education on proper usage of said control.

d_squared431 0 #9 August 2, 2010 This was me. Yes, I got so pissed that the girl in front kept walking back every 10-15 minutes because it is to to cold. Every damn time she would make that grunt/sigh sound. OMG it was killing me! I just couldnt take it anymore. So I locked the buttons but before that set it to heat at 80 and then removed to control pad. (This is florida and if she is that cold she needs to just step out the damn front doors for a minute.) She had enough nerve to blame a patient for the missing thermostat. About 10-20 minutes pass and she walked back and said she called in a work order. The repair guy from the hospital gets here and then explains how the unit works to her and not to touch it again or he would put a lock box on it...This isn't just a one day thing this has been going on for almost 8 months.

She does a fantastic job minus her personality and mood swings. If she is anything like Amy Bishop, tread carefully.... ETA: I just remembered that I saw the Amy Bishop documentary on TV last night. She's the college professor that killed 3 and wounded several other colleagues during a staff meeting at UAH in Huntsville, AL. She was pissed that she wasn't getting tenure. They were looking back at her life from the time she was a teen and killed her brother with a shotgun, and later allegedly sent a pipe bomb to a colleague at another college or something.

Set up a Go-Pro to video the coworker complete with soundtrack. That way when the engineering dept has to fix the screwed up a/c unit and the computer guys have blown servers, she can take 100% of the blame. Especially great if you time/date stamp the video, so the company can see how many times a day she adjusts the settings! topJump more, post less!

theonlyski 3 #23 August 2, 2010 The only reason I would be hesitant to do that, is because some people might call it being electrocuted and try to sue the place... or having a heart condition that getting shocked doesnt help. Other than that, it would be very easy to make any device thats bigger than a pack of cigarettes shock someone who messes with it. Oddly enough, some people can just hold onto those with little/no reaction... the tazer doesn't have that problem, and you get a good heartrate and adrenaline shot from it!"I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
