Sorry you're sick sweety... is it flu or something worse?

Not sure where to file this day.

I've been terminated. Near to a decade of service was ended due to my insubordination towards a micromanaging control freak two tiers above me on the chain of command. Of course I have reasons, not excuses for my lack of cooperation with certain directives. And my parting was very civil. No tears, a ton of smiles, and I didn't tell her to eat a dick. I may or may not be filing a grievance. But that is tomorrow.

Tonight is time for beers!

-hugs to all that want-

I always thought people like that got promoted because a) they work hard to be promoted so they can make other people's lives hell, and b) they suck up to their higher ups so they can get promoted..

She has disliked him for years, she just finally got her chance, using the smallest sliver of a made up excuse ( claims she told him not to do something and he did it, but I was there for their phone conversations and she never told him not to do that) to get rid of the one person who will stand up to her when she's wrong....( she isn't a fan of being wrong)

Y'know, IIRC, that sounds like a termination without cause, and (if NVG chose to play the "bastard" card) could get the whole program into a hella lot of hot water -- at least for the management level types.

(File a grievance....put the micormanaging ninny in some boiling hot water for the b.s.)[Oops! Did I say that out loud? ]

Hope you guys put in for the U/I soon.

Traveler: Me too...I just went for a test for a job, and they said that the interviews might start later this month and start date is in September. Ta ma de. Sadly, though, when I tried to apply for one of those types of jobs late last year, I got a rejection letter. Guess I'm too edjumakayted or som'thin'.

Ola, peoples. Can't actually remember the last time I posted on this thread. How is everyone?

Sorry about the job NVG, but many congrats about the baby (I really need to check in more often).

NVG Here:

Yes, you must check in more often. We all get to missin' folk who've been here for a while.

I figure that I pretty much have four first names so my eldest can endure with four as well.
