Dear McKesson HR Weenie:

I am certain you'd agree that in
today's competitive economy, it's
vitally important that business
enterprises such as yours do
everything possible to maximize the
productivity of its workforce for a
given monthly payroll.  Furthermore,
I expect and acknowledge that your
and your HR staff's individual job
performance incentives and bonus
structure are predicated on that
very goal.

With all of that in mind, I direct
your attention to the attached
message from a member of your
dedicated staff.  Perhaps it would
be prudent to encourage this shining
example of IT workers all across
this great at-will state of Georgia
to spend the next few months
"constantly learning, implementing,
and working" on Monster.com listings
on his own dime, during which time
he can hope to Christ that no
prospective employer Googles his
name to see what he might have left
on Internet-searchable mailing lists
over the previous year.  

Ever forward,
Jeff Hubbs

Seriously, what kind of crack are they handing out over there, that you
would come out with a message like this?  Were it me and things were
running so damned smoothly and optimally that I could spend 10-hour work
days reading manga for all anyone cared, I'd go to my boss and say,
look, you're not getting anything out of me for your money here; what
can I be doing that would benefit the company somehow?  And, if my boss
didn't have an answer, I'd have him ask HIS boss or a company VP or
anyone else what itch there is that could use a scratch.  Brainbench
certifications aren't going to add numbers to any profit centers over
there.
