Sorry, but if you’re in a position of authority, you can’t just blow it off and not listen when people come to you with problems. They will go over your head (and believe it or not, there IS someone higher than you) and if enough people do it, guess what? It’s YOUR butt that’s out and on the street.

They pay your salary. If they have issues, you best at least LISTEN to them, even if there’s nothing that you can do.

Otherwise, hit the door. You’re not living up to what is expected of you.

I was talking to someone today whose boss seems to have lost all sense of reality.

Not only has he gone and blown the rest of the money that is supposed to keep his company running until the beginning of the next fiscal year, but he’s also over committed his company, to the tune of about $125,000. That’s not pocket change.

Where is the fiscal responsibility? Where is the accountabilty? After all, if I’m one PENNY overdrawn, you can best bet the bank is hitting me with fees and with legal action. But I guess companies are different. At least in my mind, there’s a big difference between a penny and 12500000 of them.

Of course, if I were in a position of power, you can bet that if I overspent my budget by 125,000, I’d be looking for another job. Especially if I made empty promises that I could not deliver on.

(And before you ask if that 125K is out of 11 million or 1 million, know that it’s actually from a budget of about $950,000.)

Yet, I’d lay dollars to donuts that this “supervisor” will end up with a hefty bonus, while his employees are left scrambling for crumbs to keep the company afloat.

What IS the world coming to?

Guess some people need to be told that they aren’t the “B” they think themselves to be. From what I’m reading (now that the domain issue seems to be settled … I ain’t buyin’ it, but he’s letting me use the space for free, so beggers ain’t gonna be choosers), there are some real slackers out in the work force.

Of course, there are slackers everywhere. But to be happy when things AREN’T happening? Plus you’re in a growth industry?

Guess I just don’t understand.

Loud mouthed bastard decided to spout off at the big cheese today. Not the wisest thing to do…in fact, it got a knot yanked in his ass. He couldn’t blame it on Tourette’s, he has this problem of saying whatever is on his mind any time he opens his mouth. Think Sophia from the Golden Girls, but without the cuteness, the innocence, or the stroke. The coarse, vile venom that spews forth from his disgusting pie hole will one day cost him his job.

Then he can ask you if you’d like some freakin’ fries with your wormburger.

…at Silver Blue’s blog and saw this.

What the hell is going on with people today? What, you can’t shake your ass any more without someone getting all up in arms? Hell, even Tina Turner said “we’d shake from side to side, but never front to back — we didn’t want to be rude”.

Get the government out of places it doesn’t frickin belong — the last I heard, there was a hell of a lot more wrong with Texas than just “cheerleaders” shakin’ it. For starters, we should “plant a BUSH back in Texas” and get the government out of our churches, out of our homes, out of our bedrooms, and back on American soil instead of having many of our youth killed off on some fanciful whim of some ass who wants to mount a “war on terror.”

I notice none of the BUSH family are over protecting his right to be an idiot.

There’s this real creep where I work that things if they bitch louder and more frequently that things are going to happen. Guess what? It doesn’t. The only thing it succeeded in doing was having the higher ups delete their account. Oh, the pleasure that gave my twisted mind.

My own little corner of the world. Don’t expect me to be sane or witty and you won’t be disappointed.
