i recently got my "trust no one" tattoo reinked. words to live by....
I had a harassment charge dropped on my at work yesterday...
Let me give you some background:
This girl was seasonal last year for our busy season (we hire people just until mid-December to help us with our orders).
She started with 4 points and had 1 point left (we do not hire anyone on permanently if they are seasonal with less than 2 points) and yet I vouched for her, saying she can earn them back and it will be fine (she would also gain the 10 points the perm agents have - so would have 7 after the 3 were deducted).
Because I vouched for her, she was placed onto my team - no one else wanted her.
Her attendance continued to suffer.
Her performance suffered.
We had multiple meetings and coaching sessions regarding her performance and what I can do to help her.
Eventually she went on an improvement plan - where the rules are you either perform or you could be terminated.
She skated through it - by the skin of her teeth - one foot out the door and one on a bar of soap.
She is high on the assist line, which is part of performance.
Instead of putting her on another warning - I ask if I can just talk to her.
So I talk to her and the next thing I know... I am harassing her.
You know should, my boss said I did nothing wrong and has no coaching for me.
My point is - the audacity of certain people - I just can't even.
all this touchy feely stuff in the work place has to stop. its like that where i work & out of control. its all part of our entitlement culture. everyone is so up their own @$$, absorbed in their damn cell phones the center of their own little f'd up universe. never mind the consequences for anyone else. where i work it is very lowest common denominator. the few people who actually work hard & competently end up getting more dumped on them to take up the slack until it gets to the point where they are zombies, myself included. i've been on a special project & they've turned me loose a little because drastic results were needed. have had to step on some toes which isn't allowed most of the time. i'm not in that hellhole to make friends. most of the people i work with, i wouldn't spit on them if they were on fire. of course, i make the same money as the guy who spends almost his entire day watching tv on his computer. we had a 1.5 hour meeting with upper management the other day. of course they schedule it when most people have their lunch break. they got up & lied their @$$es off. i felt like i needed a shower afterward. it was like dealing with a used car salesmam for 1.5 hours. & of course, the drastic work that needed to be done sat. sorry for the rant. you hang in there Laney. be tough & document everything!

What's depressing are the new aches and pains that didn't exist before...
I tried hopping into a mosh pit right before my 30th birthday. Very similar ending to that story. I hurt in ways I didn’t know I could.
I went to Primavera Sound weeks after knee surgery, Just One Kiss started and I killed my knee all over again. It's a recurring event, I break bones that don't exist.
