We’ve had an intern working in our department for the summer, and he’s leaving on Wednesday.  He’s been connecting with everyone on LinkedIn, and asked me for a recommendation.

I gave him one.  I don’t understand why he wouldn’t use it.

Alex is literally the laziest, most incompetent jackass I’ve ever had the misfortune of working with. Every request was greeted with a grunt of annoyance or outright hostility.

Most days, a “work” day for him consisted of sitting outside the ladies room with his ear to the door until he was chased away by security. Then, five or six hours with a phone sex line on speaker phone, followed by draining a bottle of cheap vodka at his desk.

Multiple attempts were made to fire him. These were stymied by his insistence that he is a “proud black woman” and that racism and “the man” were keeping him down. Apparently these complaints have to be investigated, no matter how spurious.

And he is lousy in bed.
