I’m having trouble prefacing this article, as it is just that weird. I’m thinking we can categorize it under ‘People do wacky things’ for the moment.
“Environmental Protection Agency workers have done some odd things recently.
Contractors built secret man caves in an EPA warehouse, an employee pretended to work for the CIA to get unlimited vacations and one worker even spent most of his time on the clock looking at pornography.
It appears, however, that a regional office has reached a new low: Management for Region 8 in Denver, Colo., wrote an email earlier this year to all staff in the area pleading with them to stop inappropriate bathroom behavior, including defecating in the hallway. “
Er ya, so that has to be some super-duper low grade morale going on over the EPA if their job is so bad they have to defecate in the hallway…

“…if their job is so bad they have to defecate in the hallway…”
Really hope you’re not trying to paint them as victims here, Arb! :) Leaders certainly are responsible for the majority of the culture and climate in the workplace, but these clowns deserve to be held responsible and thrown out with the rest of their crap – low morale or not.

Nope. That behaviour, without any further context, is unacceptable. :)
