That guy sounds like he deserves a punitive job. The only reason they don't fire him outright is because they know he'll sue them again. What a douchebag.

If you pick shiat with everyone, you will find you are friends with no one.

Just on a side note, did anyone else see the banner add at the top of the page that says " live the lifestyle you've always wanted" and shows two dark skinned lesbians kissing, for IMVU?

wat? now closet cases can live out their fantasies in cyberspace? WTF is imvu?

To be fair, the MBTA should change his shift to 9 pm to 6 am, when he would be more useful.

He's right, it's a shiatty job designed to punish him. And guess what? Budget Cuts! I think he makes too much.

I would comment, but I am afraid this "gentleman" would lodge a complaint against FARK..

Well, instead of reading the bible, maybe he should pick up a broom. Spruce the place up a little. Add a wet bar. Something constructive.

Speaking of passive construction, it took me three tries to grok this sentence: "And personal belongings on the site appear to have been left recently."

Dude needs to clean the place up and start hosting kick-ass parties, charging a hefty admission fee. Or something, anything. Don't just sit there and read the bible. Jackass. I wish I had a job like that. I'd come up with something to keep me entertained.

Also, I'd kick your ass and fark your mom. Cause I'm all internet tough like that.

Exactly. F*ck him for wasting time and money that could have been used to improve services instead of giving him a meal ticket.

Wonder how much "stimulus" money they are getting.

My sympathy meter is indicating a negative number.

Nine complaints? I think he's just fishing around for a quick way to get Oprah rich.

Seriously, if you're enough of an asshole for your bosses to give you a job with no human contact just so you won't be able to sue them anymore... maybe, just maybe, the problem lies with you.

$50K for doing nothing? fark him. I'll take the job if he doesn't want it (along with 5 million other people)

Asshat.

jeez, that sounds like my dream job

hahaha my new catchphase thank you

If he doesnt releive anyone, and no one relieves him, and the phone there doesnt work.



Why not just punch in and go home?

Of course not, this is AMERICA! I wonder if Obama's auntie lives there as well?

The property sold for $4 million and gets handed over to the developer in June, so it's not like he's going to be doing this forever, or even much longer. 10-12 more weeks of doing nothing there before he gets something else.

$50,000 to sit on his ass and do nothing? From 6am until 2pm?

If only he lived in an area that had a lot of universities...

Must take a lot of cheese to go with that much whine...

Coeriv: If he doesnt releive anyone, and no one relieves him, and the phone there doesnt work. Why not just punch in and go home?

Because that would be an excuse for them to fire him.

/Would trade jobs with him.

//I actually have to do stuff for 40+ hours a week- for less money.

My point is though, as long as he punches in, they think he's there. He's doing a do nothing job next a phone that cant ring. Unless the station sends someone out of their way to go check on him, no ones going to know.

add an iphone and you can just sit around and fark all day. Or learn something... you know improve yourself.

I'd take that gig in a second.

50 grand/year + benefits. No supervision, no job requirements...nothing but time and a quiet place to work.

Goddam, this guy's been handed the opportunity of a lifetime, and he's wasting it on bible study and biatching.

They probably are checking up on him for that exact reason.

dodging raccoons and mice

I'd make money on the side charging for paint ball raccoon and mice hunting.

My husband was laid off in January from his customer service management job when the company outsourced to India. He's been looking for something since then. He'd KILL to have a $50K job doing anything. In this economy, this asshat is biatching that he has no responsibilities and no supervision? Shut your farking mouth and be glad you're getting paid, moron.

This guy's nothing but trouble. He's not reading the Bible all day--he's documenting every. farking. thing. every moment of the day, building yet another case.

Exactly. The one day he doesn't show up, or punches in & then goes home, is the one thing the MTBA is looking for to fire him without getting sued.

If he only used Jhoon Rhee Self Defense, then he too could say "Nobody bothers me....nobody bothers me..." (new window)

Given this guys nature, one wonders why he isn't suing for making him work in an unsafe and unsanitary environment. Since he's probably Union, he can also argue it's not his job to kill vermin or clean up human waste.

I think he's an asshat, but he does have the above as an option.

The article said nothing about him being smart, just litigious.

I will do this job as long as there is WIFI and my WOW account.

Oh, Dear Lord.

MacEnvy is real close to the truth.

We have a situation where both the employee and employer have painted themselves into a stalemate. He MIGHT have a case for retaliation, but that isn't completely clear from the article. But it is very likely why MTA hasn't eliminated the position yet.

The best alternative probably isn't available, and that would be to buy him out and let him retire. All the other options will cost the agency more money.

A litigious prick with no friends at work is given a job where he can't be a constant distraction and source of irritation?

Shocking.

I think you hit the nail on the head with this. People out there that spent an inordinate amount of time trying to find ways to 'beat' the system, and/or abuse it.

\Hope your husband gets something soon.
