hmm, ok

How about instead of rooting machines everytime they get repaired, work! I know, amazing! working at work! what an innovation!

Seems like an interesting proposition, but with Windows boxes in particular organizations work pretty hard to get a "clean" version that they can deploy with relatively few problems on their network. It's part of policy to create a ghost image that causes the fewest possible problems. Then, when a machine becomes unstable (could be something as simple as a program installed that isn't an "approved" program), it's far more cost and time efficient to simply "root" the machine...unless of course you have the luxury of playing Sherlock Holmes for a few weeks...which sort of implies you're not all that busy.

while we're at it, how about firing people who have extended lunch breaks and continuously "sick" for no good reason other than, "oh, I don't feel like working".

Yes! I agree!

Listen to be sunshine, I've had to put up with people like you 6 days a week, 13 hours a day, and by christ I can't bloody well stand it. If you don't know how to use the computer effectively, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! read a bloody book and LEARN!

Again, they probably aren't afforded the time to know computers inside and out like you do. They probably have "other" books to read. You see, you read "your" books so you can help the people that read "their" books.

In a nutshell, if they knew what you did -- there wouldn't be much USE for you anymore!

Another innovation, actually LEARNING! maybe after a few people are fired for stupid behaviour we might actually see employees WORK rather than TWEAK their PCs. Instead of aimless chatting on phones and emailing, they actually READ and LEARN how to use the businesses COMPUTER EQUIPMENT MORE EFFECTIVELY.

I believe in work ethic, but I think you're taking your frustration over the edge in the process and neglecting the concept of balance and priorities.

Have your rant, we all do from time to time.
