...comes great responsibility. Or more accurately with my only real power comes my only real responsibility. My biggest power in my little office is hiring folks, which means that giving them the axe is also in the job description. Well last week I posted this:

Upon talking it over with my supervisor it turns out that it is in fact illegal for the worker monkey in question to be working here. He wants to get her side of the story first and see if we can work something out but realistically it appears that my first big official act as the supervisor here is going to be firing someone.
What really surprised me is that my supervisor doesn't seem to want to know how I found this out or who else might know. The W.M. in question is a pretty chatty one so there's a good chance that everyone in the office was in on the knowledge and thus complicit in the coverup. Frankly I'd just as soon not know either. Proving they knew is impossible, and disciplining the entire office is just as tough. It's not like I can up and fire everyone or slash everyone's hours. My boss' bigger concern was that our office just got a voted a significant budget increase and that means more eyes looking over our shoulders too.
If there's any silver lining to this it's that I'm not going to shed any tears over losing this one. In addition to defrauding the state she's my least reliable employee.
