I'm tired of my bosses

[elderwitty]

My 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!

Thanks. I sort of saw it coming, since the first time they agitated to enter their own orders a couple of years ago. They think it's really easy, mainly because I make it look easy. They'll soon find out, but it'll be too late. And I won't be sad. pbtpbhtpbhtpt!

Um, don't most parents work 'til 5pm. Isn't there even a song about that? What the hell was he thinking. Wait - isn't your kidlet five? He could be taken out by a soccer ball. Or do they use a scaled down version? Either way, the running around has GOT to be good for him.

Its kind of like my current job- I make it LOOK easy but it so is not!

Um, don't most parents work 'til 5pm.

Apparently not in this coach's world....I'm frankly not sure where it is, and I'd like to live there ;)

Wait - isn't your kidlet five? He could be taken out by a soccer ball. Or do they use a scaled down version?

Yes she is five. And yes they do use a scaled down version. Though that doesn't mean it COST any less than a 'regular' ball. In fact it was MORE expensive for HALF a ball. Was ridiculous.

That's the thing about being so good. It's easy to take us for granted. (Thank god I don't hav a swelled head or anything. :grin: )

Can all you team parents band together and make him see sense? What the hell?

Why did I think you had a son? Ya know, I'm gonna claim that someone told me that. (It might even be true, since so much of the weekend is a blur.) And, of course, it costs more - don't you realize how much a shrink ray goes for these days? Seriously, that's pretty stupid. Unless it's that, since they make so many fewer of them, that they're not able to get the costs down. (Why am I applying logic? Let's just rail against The Man!)

Yes, yes it is. My boss doesn't realize how hard I work to make it look like I'm doing something everytime he arrives. (Because most of the time there isn't enough work so I save special projects just for when he's around)

Can all you team parents band together and make him see sense?

It wasn't his choice apparently. It was handed down by the league. (The Evil League of Evil. Did I mention that the girls named the team "The Ponies" (edited to "The Diva Ponies" by parents) and when he joked that he "ruled this team with an iron fist" I was all "Don't you mean Iron hoof?" "I rule this team with an iron hoof!")

Why did I think you had a son?

Because its one of those 'questionable' names? ;)

don't you realize how much a shrink ray goes for these days?

Actually yes I do. I tried to buy one just yesterday and I just did not have enough pennies. :(

I do that. Only I hit Alt+Esc to go to the other window, where I check my email for work to do. Then, when he walks away, I go back to whatever I was betaing in the Word program. This is the big boss who's only there one week in three. The always boss knows I work hard when there's work, so he doesn't say anything. Of course, that was before. Duh dun dun!

So that means that there are even more partents to make their voices heard. What the hell is the logic of that? 'Iron hoof'. :snorts:

That's the thing. I don't think I ever heard a name. Someone told me you had a five-year-old, and somehow I got boy from that. I think. See aforementioned blur.

Ooh, where'd you find it? I've got a quarter or seven (I was ready for the toll road this time).

I don't think I ever heard a name.

But you did everytime I screen named myself ;) But we'll totally blame the blur. *nods*

Ooh, where'd you find it?

I think it was...I can't remember *pouts*

NER-HERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! That is the awesomest I've ever awesomed! I'm impressed with my complete fail on that one. See, you're in a box labelled 'Kassandra' now, with a smaller box named 'mackenziezmomma' tucked inside. Out of sight, out of mind. Way out.

Feel free to tell that story around. It's bad on me, but too funny not to share. :D
