FALLOUT FROM ARROGANT STUPIDITY

The aftermath of the Ida Ann Lorenzo (pictured) altercation was caught on camera 

 

Regular readers will remember that some weeks ago I wrote about an encounter between a female civil servant and a young adult woman in a steak house in Utah.  The adult woman was offended that the young women was showing a lot of skin and decided it was her duty to correct the matter.  She walked up to the young woman, upbraided her on her attire, and grabbed and pulled down her skirt in an effort to effectively lengthen it.  She also threatened to call CPS in the mistaken belief that the young woman was a juvenile.

The arrogant stupid person, Ida Ann Lorenzo, 48, in fact ended up on the wrong end of the situation.  She was charged with sexual battery against the mini-skirt wearer.  

As it turns out Ms. Lorenzo was a fairly newly hired, and therefore probationary, legal secretary working for the Utah A.G.s office.  

On April 25, the day after the incident, Ms. Lorenzo was fired (rejected on probation technically) by the A.G.s office.  Probationary employees are much easier to fire than permanent civil service workers.  They have very little protection and one good incident of arrogant and stupid will usually do the job.  It certainly did for Ms. Lorenzo.

Yep, the old probationary employee rule. All bets are off because most new hires sign off on the probationary period and waive any rights to counter disciplinary action. (USA)
