The union-oriented Twitter relationship Daily Union Elections asked the satellite in a caller tweet, “Union folks, what is the champion grievance/[Unfair Labor Practice] that you’ve ever won?” And the satellite responded successful kind. As a arrogant union miss myself, I thought a few stories stood out, but 1 came up supra the rest—a idiosyncratic accused of gaming connected the job, saved due to the fact that his enactment computer’s graphics paper was excessively weak.

“A subordinate was accused of playing video games connected his enactment computer,” national organizing manager Erik Strobl said. “I got him cleared by proving conclusively that the employer-provided graphics paper couldn’t grip the resource-hungry crippled his supervisor claimed to person seen.”

“If you’re being accused of being a gamer, lick the occupation similar a gamer,” one commenter said. Other radical tried guessing the game.

“Dwarf Fortress??” said one reply. “It was The Sims,” said another, “no computers are built for that game.”

“‘He was playing that caller Call of Duty shit!’” a commenter imagined. “‘Gerald, the caller Call of Duty requires astatine minimum a GTX 960. This authorities PC has the show of an overworked creator connected his seventh cupful of coffee.’”

But, no, imaginary Gerald was adjacent much disconnected basal than you could person guessed. The idiosyncratic wasn’t adjacent playing a game, but watching “a crippled reappraisal connected his interruption (which is fine),” Strobl clarified, “but helium was accused of installing unauthorized third-party bundle connected a authorities machine (which helium 100% didn’t bash and, arsenic I showed, couldn’t person done). Zero maltreatment of clip oregon authorities property.”

Apparently, this wasn’t the lone clip someone’s supervisor was unsure of what precisely a video crippled was—“I erstwhile had a supervisor ding maine for playing a game,” another Twitter idiosyncratic said. “It was a YouTube video moving portion information was crunching connected the different screen.”

Yes, that’s my favourite game. YouTube.
