Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
how long it would take me to write "a blog".
Prepare for a follow-up question about whether you can make "a Facebook" for them.

The managers are under intense pressure to adhere to the distribution that requires 40% of employees to be rated below expectations.
We're pretty hardcore on rating distributions but that's way out there.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh sarameg, that's an ugly policy. We have a bit of it where I work but it's more along the lines of what Jessica says:
I don't know if our eval policy is that strict, but all the managers do get a stern "Not all of your employees are above expectations" email every year.
A blog or a blog post, Dana? I suppose they didn't specify.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
A blog or a blog post, Dana? I suppose they didn't specify.
Nope, that was the extent of the question.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Well, it's freelance off-site, to complement my existing contract job. So for the chance to sit on my couch in my PJs while working, I'll put up with a lot.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's bonkers, sarameg.
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!
So tempting! That's totally going in my mental "if I lose my job and my house" plan.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I tried to go to work today, I really did, but my head, and especially my sinuses, laughed at me and said "yeah, no".

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I would happily work for Laura if I could do it remotely and during non-normal business hours. Can I do that?
ION - boss again told me he is officially in a new position, just no announcement. uh huh. NOT FALLING FOR THAT TWICE. No expression. No comments to anyone. Nothing, nada, nope.
