		<description>Hey sifters, are you sure NOW is the time you want to go dormant? Really?  We are not under a nice thick layer of deep snow. Rather there seems to be a volcano erupting right now.

Check out this gem from the UW System new personnel system. 
Most unfortunately the classified were way more prominent in the feedback category, they had a lot of anger towards faculty and staff, and this can be used against all of us most unfortunately in the future. And there&#039;s a lot of transfer between UW System personnel system and Madison personnel system. So just because this is System and not Madison is not a reason to ignore what System is doing. 

Like a rule against being &quot;discourteous&quot;. This is extremely subjective and further subject to discrimination. It is well known that women for example are held to different expectations of conduct than men.  What a man could get away with saying a woman could get dismissed for saying.
