From the Billings Gazette:
Computer games removed from DPHHS employee computers
HELENA - The state Department of Public Health and Human Services has removed the games from the computers of more than 3,000 employees, after some employees complained that their new computers didn't include the games."It sends a clear message that computers are not to be used for non-work activities," department Director Joan Miles said in a newsletter.
The issue arose recently when the Child Support Enforcement Division received new computers, but without the games like solitaire, hearts and minesweeper that come with Microsoft software.
Some employees complained that the games weren't on the new machines while other employees in the department had games, said Lonnie Olson, division administrator.
"I said if they want them, we'll put them on," Olson said, adding that he wanted to make sure all employees in the department are treated the same.
No...if they want to play games on taxpayer dollars, you freaking fire them and see how well they can play computer games on an order prompter at Burger King. And the administrators who magically ended up with computer games should be working the drive-thru window.
