Farting is natural, and I'm willing to bet the OP is farting as he wrote this.   |

That boss sounds like a fucking creep who needs to be slapped upside the head. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1096143She has a copy of the write up because he made her sign it.

Well, that was totally out of line for her boss to say something like that. If this was something she did all the time on purpose, I could see a boss saying something to try and maintain a professional atmosphere but an accident?????? What a prick he/she is! |

User ID: 1123553 United States01/13/2011 11:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Seriously! It is against her bosses policy to fart (or even use the word fart) in the office. Reason - It decimates the airspace and young ladies should never fart. WTF? Is this even legal? If they will write you up for a fart, what is next? Quoting: Southern ORCall your states employee help line. its on a poster in her office somewhere probably the break room at the top in bold print it says " you have the right to know... " This douche wont have a job much longer. |

User ID: 1193082 United States01/13/2011 11:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Usually if this is disciplinary, there is followup, perhaps mandatory counseling to see if she can meet the standards for the job. So she should have some more scheduled meetings with the boss, to discuss his expectations for her not farting, her performance relative to not farting, etc. This is too weird. .
