Perhaps, somewhere, and maybe even somewhere this side of utopia, there is an employer who operates as you've outlined...

Starting with my company, in my department, working for me. (And if anyone's interested, the job listing is at http://jobs.perl.org/job/1560)

these time-wasters are relegated directly (do not pass GO, do not collect $200) to a file cabinet.

Then that sounds like a pretty crappy company and one worth leaving.

Life's too short to work shitty jobs for shitty employers who make you do shitty stuff.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
