Thank You for Not Smoking

Because the Shitshow cares about the health and wellbeing of all of their monkey minions, they have recently enforced a “smoke free campus.”   On the surface of things, this seems like a great idea, after all no one like having to walk through clouds of smoke while at work.  But as always, this was executed in pure Shitshow style. 

Before the “smoke free campus” was in effect, there were designated areas for smokers scattered throughout the campus.  These areas were usually some out of the way place where non-smokers never had to walk by or through.  There were multiple areas like this so a smoker taking a break usually only had to walk a couple of minutes to the smoking area. 

After the “smoke free campus”was instituted,  all the smokers now smoke at one of two places.  The first location is on the public sidewalks next to one of the main employee entrances.  So now, every person either entering or leaving the Shitshow, including distinguished guests and potential customers, get to walk through the clouds of second hand smoke. 

The second place smokers now puff away is in a courtyard that is shared with another company who by the way doesn’t have a “smoke free campus.”  Of course, this courtyard is at the entrance to one of the Shitshow’s largest buildings.  The old smoking area was behind the building near a loading dock no one ever used.  Now, the second hand smoke in the courtyard has more then doubled after the new policy was implemented so anyone walking through the courtyard is guaranteed to get a free lung full of secondhand smoke. 

If that’s not bad enough, what used to be a 10 minute smoke break has now turned into a 20 minute smoke break because smokers now have to walk off campus to get their fix.  Despite what the Shitshow would like to believe, most smokers keep charging their time when on these smoke breaks. So what used to be half an hour of wasted time is now an hour of wasted time per day, per smoker.  Way to cut cost! 

Because the Shitshow’s solution to dealing with smoking on campus is to below smoke in everyone’s face, I throw rocks.
