I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I got $5.86 from Amazon and an email fom B&N saying they'd let me know what the credit would be. As I buy more ebooks from Amazon, I doubt B&N will be higher. But hey, I have several books on my wishlist that $5.86 would cover.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure I haven't spent $5 on ebooks ever, so no settlement for me! What's the story?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, I don't like ebooks for leisure reading, so pretty much the only ones I've bought have been textbooks that were a whole lot cheaper in that form, so no money for me.

How's this for a cheery corporate policy:
The managers are under intense pressure to adhere to the distribution that requires 40% of employees to be rated below expectations.
Seriously. Official corporate line.
Fuck off and die.

The managers are under intense pressure to adhere to the distribution that requires 40% of employees to be rated below expectations.
I would be suspicious that they are gearing up for a RIF, but I am pretty much always suspicious of this at my own workplace, so I may be projecting.
Update from having to write the faculty about offices: the prof who I expected to have a fit wrote me the most gracious reply. I'm all confused.

I want you all to come to Florida and work with me. I am a great boss with no stupid corporate policies. And you can wear flip flops to work in January!

Sparky1, it sounds like he may have suspected you were put in an impossible situation and took pity.
