Jessica, I thought of you guys when I saw the TwoP news. I'm so sorry.

ION of incompetent communications at my workplace
Whatever was going down, went down. I have been told "well, it is all official." NO ANNOUNCEMENT still and whatever is official - not gonna be shared with me. So 4 closed door meeting at this location with 4 people here who do not work out of this location. NO announcement to the workers here.
like, textbook bad.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Well, I emailed OTW's Open Doors committee. We'll see if anything happens.

I'm also sad about TWOP although, like many, I haven't been there in ages. OTW sounds like a great idea, if they have the interest and time.

When I worked at JCPenney as a sales associate, the rule was that a manager could not give out an evaluation that was high than they themselves recieved
That is BONKERS.
The upside is I got REALLY good news about my own job today (good news as in, it will continue to exist) so our kids won't be completely destitute. Yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is good news, Jess! And, I mean, the kids will be working soon themselves, right?

ED is talking about delaying the termination until Wednesday. No! I can't spend even a single day working alongside her knowing what I know. But more importantly, the new hort staff start on Tuesday and I can't contrive push off their start dates with her thinking she's still in charge (or more accurately still being in actual charge of the department. Gah! If he does it first thing on Tuesday I'll only have to push off the one intern to later in the day or the next day. Otherwise I'll have to push them both off until Thursday. But how other than giving some bs excuse to the new hires and lying outright to the boss lady?

Way to go shrift!
Sorry to hear about TWOP, especially for the writers it will impact.
I think my brain has shut down. Too bad I have another hour to be at my desk.

But how other than giving some bs excuse to the new hires and lying outright to the boss lady?
I think that's the simplest method, actually. The boss lady won't be around long enough for you to be impacted by the lie, and new hires generally don't realize they're being fed bs. And if the bs is actually something about confusing and unforeseen delays, then it's not really bs.
I've found BS to be a standard component of business life.
