Funnily enough, I had already edited before you posted about the throat chop.. is that what you mean? Or that I got around the filter... which has also been remedied.

Jesus... we can't have any fun around here!

Jayems is a chronic throat chopper, it's just what he does. Nothing will change that.

Seriously, click on my user name, under vistor messages there's one from Jayems that says "I should throat chop you". I didn't question it, I just accepted it, because it's part of who he is.

Thanks Tower. Good thing you're here to "remind us not to work around the filter". I know that I just about forgot and was going to likely do it as early as today. I'm relieved that I've now been reminded and will thus avoid what was likely going to be at least a reprimand and possibly a suspension. Whew.

It doesn't matter what you say in your sig, what you actually DO is what matters.

One of the things we want here on this forum is people to actually engage in discussion. Which implies people dealing honestly and without duplicity.

By saying what you say is for entertainment purposes, then that's basically admitting every post is a trolling post, because what you are posting is not necessarily what you really think, simply posted for entertainment purposes.

I think everyone knows what happens to trolls.

I personally would talk with the HR person. I dont believe your Manager has the right to see it, but your HR person might.

If they want a piece of paper I'll give it to them, makes life easier. Once I was mugged and missed a plane. They wanted the police report to get me a new ticket for free. I did that. Easy.

Like others said, you can black out personal information and photocopy/fax. It's more stressful to worry about when it just amounts to proof of an event that caused you to miss work like a Doctor's note - even if they legally have no real authority to ask this of you.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why is it bad for your employer to know what is in your car or where it was parked?

Well, its none of his boss' business. I'd say he probably within the boss' right to ask for verification of a story that led to being late (if he was really late). The employer does not have the 'right' to force the employee to hand over a copy of the report.

I agree the boss is a ###### for asking... he appears to be a leader who relies on fear more than inspiration, but so be it.

Maybe the original poster's car was parked outside his boss' ex-wife's house at 12:30 am and the car included the book "101 Ways to Avoid Being Caught Making Love to your Boss' Ex-wife".

Either way, his boss doesn't have the right to force that information out. Verification of the excuse for lateness could include many forms.
