Bull shit Boss post!

I hope it all works out for you.

My professional life has been so screwed lately, I'm evne driving Uber/Lyft some!

When I'm not drinking my Homebrew,

I'm drinking Modelo Negra!!

In fact, I'm drinking a Negra right now!

 

well appreciated , though it would be fun to dig at his shit. It would certainly directly affect the other associates and I do like and care about their wellbeing.
boss man still hasn't bothered to return my call, or even show up while talking to others.. he'll have to come in a see me at some point

 

Too obvious. Have a chick go to a pay phone everyday and call his wife asking for him. At about the 5th call when the wifey says who is this have her scream "He knows who this is and he is paying for this abortion". That is for revenge. Now let's get rid of him. Wearing latex gloves buy a pistol down at the projects with the numbers filed off. Use a slim jim tool and put it under his car seat. Follow him and when he makes a stop at a bar call the police via pay phone wearing a hoodie so cameras can't id you. Tell them a crazy person just pointed a pistol at you at a red light. Maybe throw a little drugs under the seat too. That should remove him from your life.


Just kidding.... Put a polished apple on his desk and tell him how great he is.

 

I would have no idea where to find a pay phone.

 

how about a pre-paid SIM?

 

Thank you. I was going to respond to this, but figured "maybe" he lives near one of these relics. I was gonna say "buy a burner phone", but figured maybe he actually does know where a pay phone is.

 

Maybe it will be when you turn in notice as you have something better lined up (from what you said don't be surprised if you give two weeks and they say get out)

Good luck, while things can always get worse they tend to get better if you work at it.

 

Just keep doing your job, fuck with the boss every chance you get and look for work. If nothing better pops up just keep taking the better paycheck and fly that fucker in to the ground.

 

Hmmm. Sounds like a good way to get rid of a plant mgr.

 

Don't think they have to give you the classic 2 weeks. As soon as you tell them you're going they might just decide to cut their losses and escort you off the property. No extra money, no saved vacation, just "here's your hat".

 

the 2 weeks was just him telling me I had that chance to "turn whatever around" I still haven't seen nor heard from him

 

Saved vacation might be a legal obligation. I know for the company would have new one ripped by the feds for not paying it

 

It may vary by state, and I am no yeller purrari driver, but I believe if you put in two weeks and they tell you to pound sand they are obligated to pay the two weeks.

In certain industries, especially those involving outside sales, people move from one company to the competition. Every time I have seen that happen, we've paid out the two weeks and sent them home. I gave one company three weeks notice, my position is not the easiest to fill and I wanted to give them plenty of opportunity to fill it. After a week and a half the filled the position, told me to turn my stuff in and paid me the rest of the time. That may have been done out of generosity or out of obligation.

 

In the nuke business you are gone as soon as you say so...they won't take a risk you might do something. As far as back vacation pay, my son lost his when he quit at Sanyo in Oregon. They needed him back about 6 months later as a contractor to fix something. His price just to meet and discuss terms was his 3 weeks vacation pay.

 

No legal obligation to pay two weeks. There’s no law requiring a company to pay for work not performed. However, there are laws in various states requiring the company to pay for earned, but unused vacation. All that said, if you quit and they walk you, you would generally be eligible for unemployment for the duration of your notice period since you made them aware of your availability to work and they chose to show you the door.

 

That always cracked me up. If you were going to cause trouble would you not just do it before giving notice? Further by giving notice you demonstrated courtesy (just as they are not obligated to pay you for time not worked you are not obligated to give notice) Fired I can see, even laid off maybe.

Saw this with an IT person by EDS at GM. Sent the GM guards to escort out a well like and respected EDS admin who had given notice they were going to a substantially better job (EDS offered to match.... at her next review ) The GM boss was furious they used HIS guards to what he thought was mistreat her. He personally went down and escorted her back up. Oh and to show how dumb the EDS management was they did all this 30 minutes before the team was taking her out for a going away luncheon.

 

I once spent two hours in a meeting with my direct supervisor on a plan to transition my tasks and procedures for the department I alone designed and supported, despite my many requests to cross train and disaster proof the business unit.

Following day her manager bought out my notice. There were about three months of chaos after I let the door close behind me there with nobody up to speed on maintaining a 24 hour graphics arts department at a financial services printing company.

And thus was my last job in the corporate culture.

 

We were also trained to observe employees for aberrant behaviour. Sounds kinda Orwellian, I know, but that's just the way it was. To my knowledge I don't know of anyone actually reported. It usually took something like a fight or a bad practical joke to get squealed on.

 

Years ago I was the corporate hatchet man because my boss was a pussy and his boss was an even bigger pussy. Some times it sucked, some times I got to the office early just to bask in the task.

I once met the employee in the entrance (with the door behind me locked), terminated her employment, gave her her box of personal possessions, walked her to the parking lot and. . . into the arms of the sheriffs department and walked away as she was arrested.
