Current drama under Robert Jones' legal staff: retirement parties, lawyers goofing off, and now everyone's gotta check in/out like some 5th grader

If Robert Jones was a teacher, his class would be out of control. Half the class would be absent (mentally or physically), and the other half would be on Ritalin. In any event, there would be absolutely no instruction taking place because teacher failed.

From what I hear, The Joke Robert Jones is now making everyone under his thumb check in & out because of individual time abusers. In maintaining the DLSE practice of failed management, Robert Jones will now punish everyone in class instead of those that broke the rules. I'm not surprised that this was the management solution he picked to solve the employee problem; he's not smart (remember, he's connected), and it's easier to make everyone suffer rather than dealing with the individual. Way to piss off & antagonize the staff, Jonesy: bravo!

In other news, some career-ladder invited Jonesy to Anne's retirement. This is where some lawyers really need some street smarts, as they already have books smarts: these lawyers need to be able to "get" it, and figure things out that are not in a book. This is going to be Anne's day where Anne is celebrated for her loyal service to the public. It's all about Anne; she should have who she wants at her party. It's not required to be politically correct. If all of the DLSE lawyers are there except for Vanessa Holton, John Rea, Anthony Mischel, Richard Munoz, and Robert Jones - then oh well. Anne should not feel uncomfortable at her own party because Jonesy is there. If Jonesy was any kind of a man, then he'd find some excuse not to attend, apologize for his absence, and let her have her party.
