Instead of firing the smokers, I suggest that ATTIS fire all their employees that post articles to net.flame (or any of the net groups, for that matter). After all, quite a few of such inane postings adversely affect the mental health of other employees--including those of other companies and ATTIS employees who aren't even co-located! They get less work done than those who don't post (even smokers who miss work due to health reasons), since they're wasting all their time on the job spitting waste into the net instead of being productive. And just think of all the legal fees that could be saved with the reduced number of liability and class action civil rights suits. What do y'all think? Soctt Berry P.S. Don't look at ME for laying off--I work at Bell Labs!
