Random Profiling

Random Profiling

The idea for this comic came from a work situation of mine. I kept getting all of these email reminders from the higher-ups that I had to participate in all of these various online colloquiums. It seemed like there was another one popping up every other day.

I began to grow suspicious that not everyone in the department was being forced invited to participate in these “Sexual Harassment”, “Racial Discrimination”, “Drug-Free Policy”, and “Company Embezzling Infraction” tutorials. And when I asked around to some of my co-workers, they told me that they weren’t required to fill anything out.

So, it’s just me, huh? What did I do to raise any alarms, I wondered. Well, I eventually discovered that Human Resources makes every new hire participate in these programs, and that because I was the newest person in my department, I was the only one who had to do it. The rest of the crew had already gone through these colloquiums long ago.

Anyway, at least, I was able to create a comic out of all those hours of filling out multiple-choice questionnaires. :)

I’m pretty sure I would have more fun playing with her balls than I would playing with my own. :)

  1. First! (I dunno, those balls look sweaty. Nothing worse than sweaty balls.)

    You shoulda seen the child molesting ummmmm prevention videos I had to watch for my church organist job (which has Zero contact with minors and very little contact with ANYBODY, which is precisely what I like about it.). Anyway if I didn't know how to be a child molester before those videos I sure know the basics now. It was like a tutorial for molesters.

  3. Those videos are always entertaining to watch, in a weird way. Bad acting, cheesy music. Wait, I'm thinking of porn movies. I always get those two mixed up.

    Looks like somebody's gonna be refreshing their browser and trying again. :)

      I kept getting my answers wrong and had to go back and try again numerous times. I wonder what that says about me and my personal ethics? o.0

    I had gotten one of my jobs because the interviewer asked an applicant out at the end of an interview… I ended up replacing the interviewer. Then there was a big case at this company where the sexual harassment got on the evening news… all three of the major local channels… and the major newspaper!

    • George says:

      What ever happened to the days when you could just smack a subordinate on the backside and ask them out for drinks? Sigh…I really miss Mr. Dithers and Gen. Halftrack. They knew how to handle "bidness". :D

  6. Mark Stokes says:

    Looks like somebody needs a reality check! Haha, I can just see that guy in real life, you did a great job on him, George!

    It's quite obvious. The sad thing is that you know who those particular people are at work.You should do a strip with the opposite scenario.

    ha-ha 'two hound dogs fighting over a ham'… where do you come up with this stuff? :)

    • George says:

      It partly derives from my insane imagination combined with my Southern Gentleman hospitality. Southern lingo contains a lot of descriptive statements. :)

  9. You are lucky you only have to do it once. WE have to redo it every single year. And they are the worst elearning modules ever.

    • George says:

      I hated it because the right answers aren't what I thought they should be. It's like you can't even say hello to anyone anymore with it getting misconstrued.

      Or how about the fact that your workers hitting on each other can make YOU be held accountable if someone throws a fit. It's almost not even worth showing up for work anymore. :)

      And are you SERIOUS? every year? I don't think I could stand that.

    Question: Why are YOU singling me out?

    Answer: You singled yourself out with your behavior.

    I won’t confirm nor deny that I have ever used that with one or two of my employees. ;)

    • George says:

      Hahaha! When it comes to most office infractions, people generally end up telling on themselves. It's really no secret, just a formality to clean it all up. :)

    Office politics are a pain in the ass and she did have a nice one, by the way :)

  12. Binky says:

    Obviously no reason at all.

    He's a very believable real life like character George. Our company doesn't have these tests thank goodness as they sound like a real pain. It would sure worry me if I had to do a test then found out no one else had to.
    I failed a drug test once for a job application at a bearing manufacturing company. Their company nurse said I tested positive for opiates. This was a real shock as I don't even smoke cigarettes or drink very often. I'd had a tooth puled 2 days earlier & it turned out it was the pain killers the dentist gave me. I felt like a real druggie criminal at 1st, especially the kind of condemning look the nurse gave me as she said "What are you on???"
