“The manager of a charitable fundraising enterprise in Davenport has been fired for alleged financial mismanagement, drug use and having sex with a woman on his desk. Chris T. Coppinger of Davenport was fired in March from Mohassan Grotto 22, where he worked as co-manager of the organization’s charitable bingo operation. He was fired after his supervisors allegedly found $1,000 in cash and checks in his office, along with a condom and a jar of urine that appeared to have been hidden. Coppinger was subsequently accused of smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol in the building; having pornography on his work computer; having sex with another person on his desk; and ordering a 15-year-old co-worker to urinate in a jar. He also was fired for failing to deposit cash and checks the organization had collected. At a hearing dealing with Coppinger’s request for unemployment benefits, Coppinger admitted to drinking and having sex with a woman on his desk, but he testified that many other members of the organization had engaged in sex on that same desk. He offered no witnesses to support that claim and was denied benefits.” — Des Moines Register (US)

Ever hear the phrase “nice work if you can get it?” PervScan once had a dumb job where the manager fired everybody he didn’t like and then all the women too. Yes, firing women was primitive, even illegal, but evidently he had ideas about male esprit de corps. He also regularly brought pot and cocaine to the workplace for the remaining group. You could take what you wanted — provided you could also do your job well. Amazingly, productivity at this place increased by several hundred percent. People were happy to work there. They’d hang around when their shift was over, helping out and working off the coke. It was an amazing lesson in labor management that you likely won’t read about in typical books on corporate business practices.

In a similar spirit, it would be interesting to know whether Mr. Coppinger, which his unusual approach to management, had a positive or negative effect on the charity’s profit & loss statement. Or perhaps he was too concerned with bottoms to affect the bottom line? In spite of the more outré charges — forcing an unrequired, apparently impromptu urine test on a young worker — Mr. Coppinger appears to have had a nose for the money. The thing about this case that really galls everybody writing about it online is that, after being released for his dubious job performance, he had the gall to file for unemployment benefits.

While rescinding Mr. Coppinger’s benefits, the judge indicated that he failed to believe the assertion that “everybody was doing it” on his desk at work. “The administrative law judge finds the employer’s testimony to be more credible because the claimant offered no testimony from any employee who actually had sex on the premises…” You have to agree with the judge on that one, which makes you wonder if Mr. Coppinger’s assertion was wishful thinking. Or perhaps he was doing so many drugs at work that he hallucinated the orgies taking place on his desk.
