I'm tired of my bosses

elderwittyMy boss welcomed me back with an announcement that the company has decided to teach the salespeople to enter their own orders, and if all goes well, my position will be eliminated in five weeks. If I'm a good little girl, and don't interfere with the process I'll get 10 weeks severance. Blah blah blah, and I can contact our HR to get all the details of the severance package. And how was Chicago?
Really? No, fucking REALLY? You throw that in on the end of that discussion. You suck.
And doesn't the fact that there are details about the package make it seem like this has been in the works for a while and my ouster is inevitable? Nice.
I forgot to mention to him that order entry comprises only about 40% of the actual duties of my two positions (Data Entry/Office Coordinator). I'll let him figure that out when he has to do all the other stuff that I've been in charge of for the last seven years. You know - little, vastly unimportant things, like gift card redemption forms (a major pain) and periodicals, office supplies and payroll. Have fun, asshole!

My sister gave me a lead on second shift office jobs at local hospitals, so I'm looking into that. I'm thinking that even if the salespeople entry program goes down in flames, I'm out of this pit. They've proven exactly how little they respect and esteem me and my efforts, and the time has come to tell them to piss off.

And, since nobody would leave the room 'til they'd gotten their signature, there would be more people viewing each item for sale (ie, the cool kids wouldn't eschew the auction like they did both days). You can wave from the wall just as well as the chairs, right? And you can call the next row in between items. Also, a bigger crowd heightens the likelihood of bidding wars, and eggs on the bidders, both of which are good for the bottom line. It's not rocket science!
As for work, I think they're going to get just exactly the karma they deserve. And, don't worry, they'll either be laying me off with a severance package, or losing me about two weeks after the announcement that the program has been a complete failure. I've felt unappreciated for quite some time now, but was too ... okay, lazy is a word ... to go looking.
The really fun news is that, with almost a year 'til the next Con, there should be no issue getting the time off. (Why can I see the silver cloud in everything? Wait, because it's a good talent to have, it's funny, and it pisses some people off. Okay, then.)
