Let’s all move to Peru

By the time you read this, Ology Corp. will have packed up and shipped off to our new corporate headquarters in the Andes; and chances are we’ll be pretty thoroughly shitfaced.

That’s because Peru’s Supreme Court has ruled that being drunk on the job is no grounds for termination.

From Reuters:

The Constitutional Tribunal ordered that Pablo Cayo be given his job back as a janitor for the municipality of Chorrillos, which fired him for being intoxicated at work.

The firing was excessive because even though Cayo was drunk, he did not offend or hurt anybody, Fernando Calle, one of the justices, said on Wednesday.

What’s that, you say? This is hardly a political post? Well, file it under “The Courts and the Rule of Law” and kiss my ass. I’m wasted.
