2nd biggest in hiring idiots?
When a company holds someone 'responsible' for behavior at a party is where I draw the line at pointing fingers at 'the problem'.
Have fun working for tyrants. With a handle like MrDudeMan I'd think you'd be more 'clear-thinking' than handing your nuts to corporate america....

Remember all those idiots who took "Drafting" and "Auto Shop" in high school instead of English and History?
This is who you're dealing with.

lol...every company that is of decent size has to have peons to do the manual labor. we have them here to do the stuff that is pretty boring, but they just happen to be really retarded at the same time. i am not sure what you meant by the rest of your post, and i really dont get why you think i am handing my nuts to CA. the guy is stupid, yes, but no one else wants to do his job. until we find a replacement, he has to continue working here. you have some issues if you are pointing the finger at anyone but this idiot.
edit: oh, and yes, they do manage to hire some idiots, but there are a lot more people working here than just these few idiots lol...its not there they make up half of the staff

i work with some of the most ignorant fools in all of history. when we get a list of 400+ resumes, somehow my boss always hires the biggest morons from the bunch. lets rewind to last summer, which is when he hired a guy named joel. joel, from the first day, completely disregarded all of the rules. didnt wear pants, came in late, left early, took too long of breaks, etc...now there should have been a LOT of redflags before we let this guy come here, but of course, the only people who saw them were the ones who were not interviewing himhe lied on his resume, and we even called him out on it, but he still got hired. he ended up working here for a little over 2 months, and was the biggest mistake this company had ever made to date. he couldnt do anything right to save himself. he finally earned himself a kick in the nuts by making a death threat toward one of the other employees. bye joel!
lets move on to august, when we hired kristie (the second biggest mistake next to joel). she is in her late 30's and she is a HUGE know-it-all, kind of like corporate recreation, but that is another story. anyway, she made the same type of mistakes as joel, but five times worse. i know it was unprofessional of me, but i snapped on her one day. she threw the architectural plans for a house on my desk and said she cant work in this type of stress. she asked me to follow her into the boss's office, so i did...she closed the door and said "he is being so mean to me! i cant concentrate with all the yelling!" he started laughing and said "kristie, i can hear every word he says. we dont have doors in this office. go back to work." 2 days later...this idiot brings alcohol to work, claims the owners told her it was ok, and got booted that day. on the way out the door, she signed papers nullifying her ability to file for unemployment and didnt even read them....IDIOT!
THEN!!! this is the BEST one...
IAN! ian submitted his resume past the deadline, used totally bogus format, and couldnt collect his thoughts on the phone long enough to get a sentence out. when my sister (the other head engineer) called him to talk about his opportunity to work here, he said "i cant come in for an interview today. my girlfriend has a lizard and her parents are going to kill it if we leave. i can come next week." she was like uhhhhhh ok!
fast forward to today (we hired ian in late september BTW) and he is officially the most annoying human being on earth. he takes stuff off of my desk and never brings it back. when i go out and ask him for it, he starts biting his thumb (like hardcore biting and he makes nasty sounds (seriously)) and saying "im so sorry, i didnt mean to offend you...im so sorry..." etc. im just like "ian just dont take stuff off of my desk please." he also drinks 2, yes TWO, 2 liters of diet coke every day. he runs at full speed to the print room on a daily basis, well he did anyway, at least until the boss yelled at him in front of everyone. "ian, i cant believe i am telling you this, but there is no need to run in the office unless there is a fire or a terrorist." he doesnt deposit his paychecks. i repeat, he doesnt deposit his paychecks. he is 25, and one day his mom called furious because she said we werent paying him any money. dont you think they should have said something 6 months ago?? hmm...anyways, he pulled out all of his checks from his desk at work and said he never got around to depositing them all...WTF!?!?! MORON!
oh, btw, at the christmas party, ian sang a prince song and made the biggest fool out of himself. we actually had our best customers asking who he worked for and no one at our office claimed him.
i hate them all.
oh darn, when you described JOEL, its seemed like you described me. everything fits. it was last summer yes, my attire was frequently called upon because i sometimes wear pants, sandals, tshirts, in a business casual environment. i come in late for like 3 times in a row for 3 weeks, 1 every week, or maybe i just didn't come in at all. i think i just didn't come in. my breaks are supposed to be 2 15min, and 1 30 min lunch. but i would crunch all my break into 1 big 1 hour lunch, and no break. got in trouble for that. but i didn't lie on my resume. i was also working there for little less than 3 months. i DID make a threat to an employee, not a death threat though. i thought he was talking smack about me in his native tongue, so later on, i approached him at his desk, and said if he was talking smack about me. he said no, are you kiddingme?? along those lines. ok, i didn't make a threat, just asked if he was talking smack about me. ok, you live in texas, i live in S. cali.

Mr. Code:
How's the soil conditions over there in DFW? From what I've read the soil is highly expansive in Texas, much like it is here in Mississippi.

well I'd venture to say what side of the staff you are on....seriously you sound like a ninney. 2 liters of coke is about normal for many people per day....as far as someone depositing their paychecks or not...what's the concern to you?
You can go ahead and be Mr. Mom at work though...I would never want to be known as 'that guy'.
Since you are attempting to pinpoint your employer without actually giving their name, I'd wonder if they know you are attempting to speak for them.

MrDudeMan, I'm fairly sure my neighbors are working with you.... I know for a fact I have to share the roads with them...
One of my employer's better hires stole a 15 passenger van from us & took a load of hookers to Louisiana for a week.

yet another person to confuse me with mrcodedude...
soil here is about the worst in the US. not sure if you do much with the plasticity of the soils since you are structural, but the PI here exceeds 60-70. PVR's of up to 12" in irving. the only way to counter that is with 10-12" wide by 35-50' piers. it is majorly expensive to build a foundation in some parts of the metroplex (dfw). frisco, north of dallas, was the number 1 fastest growing city in the US a year or two ago, and that is where we do a lot of our design work. they clamped down on their building codes, so masonry support and all of the roof/wall/ceiling suppot systems got a hell of a lot more expensive. we make an extra 100k a month just from the implementation of more stringent codes. job security at its finest.
we do about 5 big builders...they each build about 600+ homes a year, and 2 of them build 1200+. needless to say, we have a sh!tload of work all year 'round.

ok troll, first of all i said TWO 2 liters a day...2+2=4 and that is not normal for people to drink that much of anything, even water. im not a ninney at work...i dont even say sh!t to anyone. the only person i speak to is my boss, and sometimes my sister. i talk to everyone else only when i have to, and not by choice. i have so much friggin work to do that if i try to have a conversation, i end up staying past 7 just to finish what was assigned that day. it is my responsibility to get plans to the customers in a timely manner, as well as design rebar and post tension foundations..AND check what the morons are drafting. im not attempting to speak for anyone...i am related to all of the upper management. my brother in law is the boss, my sister is the 2nd in line, my other sister is the HR manager and does all of the payroll, and my girlfriend bills all of the work/leins the late paying customers. i cant help but hear about all of this since i see them all after work. im not know as "that guy" at work, i am not speaking for my employer, and i dont give a sh!t what anyone does, but it is pretty ridiculous to not ever deposit your paychecks. you are seriously a big fvcking moron.

My bad about the name
Mississippi's soil is just as bad. The worst PI's that I've seen on one of my projects is 87. Needless to say, a perimeter grade beam with 2 - #5 bars ain't working on this one. Piles bearing at 30'-0 were a better choice.

np blueweasel...
the worst PI i have seen is 85. but the PVR was 13" :Q
16" piers, 41' deep, 10x30 beams with 5 #6 bars top and bottom, and PT cables at 3' O.C. probably the most rigid foundation design ever lol
edit: i take that back. we designed an elevated slab for home depot that was sturdier than this one.
