Amy, this is a family-owned dealership group. The dealer principal is a micromanaging, cranky SOB who treats all of his employees like crap.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I love companies who want their employees crying at their desks. it really aids in our productivity.

Because books.
Either way, assholes.
Also, I want brenda to be my negotiator if I ever have a decent job/offer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I have let myself get less than maybe I should have (and am currently doing that still!), but at least I haven't worked for assholes.

Man, Maria. I wish I could get you into my company. I don't mean to be all Pollyanna-y but I am so glad to work somewhere where performance is genuinely valued. I mean, it's not perfect by any means, but if you work hard and show results people notice.

Ah. That is exactly the kind of privately owned fiefdom hell I escaped from. I was so happy to get back to Big Corporate America with all its bureaucracy and policies and standards of behavior and stuff.

The HR manager there is a friend of mine and we do a good job of separating friendship from work. She knows I'm moving back to PA. It says a lot when she told me she doesn't blame me and if there's anything she can do to help, just let her know. And it's ok by her if I somehow can't give a full two weeks' notice.
Telling, isn't it?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
No bereavement leave is just inhuman. I was bitter enough that though my company claims you can get up to a week, during the 18-month period where I had three family funerals (two grandparents and an aunt), I got four hours each time, which came out of my sick time. And none of these were local funerals, obviously.

brenda, I'd jump in a heartbeat. My skills translate well from my current industry to yours.

I thought that might be the case.

Our wings are not tired
I just don't understand how employers can treat their employees like that.
