Told before.
I had a job once where, after I quit, my boss and his boss spent several days trying to get me to un-quit.
When it finally got through their skulls that I was not going to un-quit, they fired me. “So… you’re telling me the time I’ve worked for you will count towards my unemployment benefits next time I draw them? Alrighty!”
I hope your wife gets fired after all.
Quite true! This may be my last post in *this *thread. I’ve been traveling, visiting my sister in New Mexico and seeing the annular solar eclipse near Albuquerque. I’ll write more about that elsewhere.
On the 11th I gave my boss a full rundown on any pending issues. At 4:59 I went into his office and handed him the files for them. “You’re leaving NOW?” Why, yes, I am. LOL.
On Friday night one of my team was arrested for beating his wife. Turns out he’s been doing this off and on for 15 months.
It’s his twins 1st birthday soon…
Summer festival season is coming. Our busiest time of the year. Last night something went on in our parking garage which resulted in a fight between one of my cashiers and one of my supervisors. I still don’t know exactly what happened but I do know that the cashier quit and the supervisor got fired.
I hate HR with the fire of a thousand suns. I didn’t sign on for this, and I’m not cut out for HR. The job I thought I was taking was an accounting job, not babysitting cashiers.
Do these people even READ the resume before getting in touch? Do recruiters in the same company even TALK to each other?
I’ve had two contacts today, from the same company, about the same completely inappropriate job. Why no, I’m not a SAS programmer. Yes, I know it says SAS in my resume, but that’s because I had a short, one-month contract there as a technical writer. Not a programmer. Not an administrator. Technical. Writer. Even says in my summary that I’m a Technical. Writer.
I am not a fucking SAS Programmer! Quit contacting me for SAS programming jobs! Even better, fix your fucking system so if one recruiter is calling me about a job, the others know not to! It’s bad enough being spammed about the same position by recruiters from multiple companies; I really don’t need to be spammed for the same position by multiple recruiters from the same company on top of it.
And while you’re at it, read the resume before contacting me. Many more contact from your company about positions I’m completely unsuited for guarantees I will never, ever work with you even if you find a position I am suited for, because you are CLUELESS.
And now I get to appear slightly clueless, because it was SAP I contracted at, not SAS. I originally wrote SAS when I was writing my post, then decided it had to be SAP because that appears on my resume but SAS is not mentioned at all, which now makes it even more annoying that they called me.
For several months there all my sologig and careerbuilder job recommendations leaned heavily toward Phlebotomist. I had no fucking clue what that was until I looked it up and even less of a clue why the fuck both of those sites decided to carpet bomb me with job recommendations in a field I’ve never worked in and have zero interest in. Thankfully, that’s died down significantly.
Were those blood suckers paying these companies to recommend their jobs all over the place?
Okay, I have to come back and tell everyone what happened after I left. This is from personal email from one of my former cow-orkers, edited to protect the innocent:
You know what I didn’t say out loud today? Shut up you stupid nutty bitch, that’s what.
I may as well be talking to a rock with this one, and my boss stands there with her mouth hanging open and does nothing. GAH!
How can disability be unacceptable?
Who’s in the betting pool for how long MLS’s former employer lasts? I say it closes by Christmas.
What the flying blue shitstained hell?? Has Careerbuilder gone completely off the deep end?

What, no offers to become an insurance agent? There’s good money in that. So they keep trying to tell me.
[And I finally figured out where they got SAS from: I have SAS-70 documentation experience thanks to a stint documenting procedures at a financial company. Not *quite *the same thing.]
Friend T, you are driving me and your other friends insane with your constant whining on Facebook. “I’m a geek, guys don’t like me, I’m ugly, I’m a nerd…” On and on and on… . You are a cute 40 year old blond. If you weren’t so self-pitying and insecure you might be able to get a date. It doesn’t help much that you hang out mostly with people younger than you are.
Please stop fishing for compliments on Facebook. Some of your friends have even gone so far as to post that on your latest pity party status updates. You are a lot of fun to be around and you are very attractive. Stop worrying so much about what “someone else” thinks of you.
No, and no.
It would save me a lot of phone fees if the fuckers did: most of them call from abroad, and Spanish phone companies charge a fee for receiving calls from abroad.
He’s been in bad shape before, I’d bet longer. In a real pinch, Bitchy Wife of Bossman could come in to work more than once a week.
I’ll update if possible, unless my former cow-orker manages to find another job,which I know she is actively seeking.
Isn’t that just a grand feeling? Somewhere between exasperation and amusement, with a soupcon of “I couldn’t possibly care less” thrown in. 
I’m getting the impression that all supervisory roles are babysitting.
Please do. We’re going through Shredder Guy withdrawal here.
It’s day 3 with no outgoing phones in the office, because our servers crashed over the weekend. Do you suppose keeping the server room a toasty 80F all the time had anything to do with it? We had no phones or Internet at all on Monday. Since we are able to receive calls and surf the Internet now, I guess that’s good enough. Everyone has a cell phone if they need to dial out, right? :rolleyes:
YES. I’m finding the lack of initiative that I’ve seen this week utterly stupefying. I’m starting to wonder if I need to send an e-mail every once in a while to remind everyone that they need to keep breathing.
It’s been kind of a rotten week.
Yeah… I didn’t like babysitting much when I was a teenager, I sure as hell don’t want to do it now.
