Read in paper where 2 Yellowstone employees were fired for p--ing in old faithful one 23 years old and fined $750. So it got me to thinking of how many people you have seen or someone told you that they had done something stupid that was wrong.I know no one here would do something wrong, you would have to have seen or been told it was done. My point is when it was done that person did not realize at that time it was wrong and could have gotten them fired from a good job or even arrested and jail time. I think one of the biggest offences I have seen during my 45 years in the work force of oilfield , ranching , electricial and office work was petty stealing of small things, small tools, hand tools, 5 gal gas, chains, poles, crossarms, pencils, paper, one of the most costly to the company is the stealing of time, not working the full 8 hours they are paid for,doing personal things on the job, look at your e-mail and see how many were started from a jobsite and some turning their electrical meters upside down or wiring around their meter. One I know stole his bosses 8n ford tractor and sold at auction was caught sent to jail, some sell a calf or two in their name never caught can't prove. Most that do this think they do not get paid enough so taking things makes up for it. I have seen a some fired and fired some myself . It is amazing what people do and do not realize how wrong it is. On the bright side the majority of people I worked with are honest and trustworthy and I was proud to have knowned them, This is just some of my bad experiences with the people that amaze me. I am just rambling this morning and now I will go to Church.
