A few people beat me to it, but one of two things happen to people like this. They either A)get fired quickly for not fitting in, or B)get promoted because some boss "likes their moxie." You better hope it's not B.

You should probably sneak into his PC when he's away from his desk and send an e-mail with porn attached to 'All' just to guarantee B) doesn't happen.

We need to take a look at this guy. A real straight shooter. He's got upper management material written all over him.

I'm not completely getting #3. His unlocked what?

And I agree with the others here. He won't be around too long.

I don't know, it might be good to keep him around as a stress reliever and morale booster. The laughs he produces from his behavior has to be good for reducing office stress, and as a moral booster, everyone in the office can point to him and say, "Well, at least I'm not as stupid as that numbnuts." Just so long as you keep him in the mailroom, everything should be fine.

How do people like this get jobs.... My former roommate has apparently gotten a job in "networking", but he wouldn't know a router from an Xbox360...
