    Pretty soon the gub'ment is just going to start setting out piles of bricks and paying people to move them from one place to another just to keep people from rioting.

    My gf was fired in highschool for forgetting to give a fork to customers who ordered gravy at A&W. She was recently fired for cutting and pasting a company overview from Wikipedia and trying to pass it off as her own work. I would consider that level of stupidity a skill.

    @jobsworth: A&W policy was fork for gravy, so that people could eat their fries with dignity.

    I would argue from the general state of things that many talentless employees still HAVE their jobs.
