Wow, considering the responses I got in my thread yesterday (yeah, I know it was lame), where's all the flamers telling Mikey to "mind his own f**king business"?

ATOT is fickle.

Yes I realize it's his own dumb fault, but do consider what happens to some people living paycheck to paycheck when they get fired. Can you live with this?

Honestly I'd find it hard to turn anyone in unless it's VERY necessary, but that's just me.
And so he must really value his job, after all he did the ultra-responsible duty of print PORN on the company printer :roll:

The cost of supplies is probably not a big deal. 15 pages is like maybe $1.50. People probably waste far more than that misprinting things. What's the big thing is he's printing potentially offensive material. What if some female worker had found that in the printer?!?
I don't think it's something somebody should be fired over, but he should be written up for it.

If this guys cares so much about his job, he wouldn't be doing crap like that. If HE doesn't care, why should anyone else? This guy is stealing from the company, and it's your moral obligation to report it. What happens after that is out of your control.

Agreed, it obvious that he deserves to lose his job, and it's his fault. I'm not defending him.

Somethings can't be taken back, like reporting him. So all I'm saying is make sure it's something you want to do. What happens after he gets reported is pretty obvious, he'll lose the job.

Personally, I'd go to the boss and say, "I have an issue that I've been having a hard time with. You see, I want to be a "team" player, but..."

He made a lame excuse about how it was an accident and a trick his friend played on him by putting a bunch of pics buried in an email. I told him to lay off and then went back about 10 minutes later, and theres ANOTHER copy just laying on the printer. It was obviously sent directly to him, as the only body of the email is about 30 pics of female genitalia.

Should I rat him out?

I'm thinking of just putting the second copy back on the printer in the hopes the boss will find it when he gets back Friday night.

Give him an ultimatum.

Hey I witnessed your BS, don't lie about it. However, now you brought me into this. Keep your [whatever] at home man.

I am currently monitoring our color laser, 50k pages only 8k had color.

There is no need for an employee that wasting work time, abusing the resources and have the potential to damage the company reputation with lawsuit (sexual harassment), cost money, and disrupts other workers.

I would drop the prints into the boss mail box.

Wow, you guys are intense about your printers.

How's about you all line up and tell on me?
I like getting in trouble.

I would never consider this kinda thing to be "ratting someone out." If the guy is lazy and is printing pornographic images with the company printer, then he doesn't respect the company and the people that work there. Why should you give a rats a$$ about him and his job?

His career got ruined when he hit "Print". Not when his unprofessional(and allegedly unproductive) ass got turned over to the management/HR.

Oh yeah, when he mentions "so and so found my print job and didn't have a problem with it. I didn't know it wasn't ok..."

I can't believe you'd even consider ratting him out.. you must be real fun to work with. Hell, where I work we drink beer and play counter strike at our desks during lunch. Hell, my boss IM's me porn all the time. I'd hate to work in a stuck up place where you could get fired for this bs
