A motivational talk …. LBM Style

Hey, Rant Woman … it’s been a while, have things finally improved at your office? Perhaps LBM was out on management courses … ?

*snickers* nope, he was just saving up for a good one.

LBM is calling people in the other divisions and making stupid and lazy requests. Information he has access too but “he’s the boss” so he’ll just call up the minions and make them do it. How do I know this? Because they’re all coming bytching to me … I know, welcome to my world. So … clue one … he’s NOT in a good mood.

He hauls me and PCW (poor coworker) into his office. He proceeds to REAM me out for not knowing information that he didn’t tell me … DAMN my complete lack of mind reading abilities … it’s SO going to get me fired one day. Within the space of 40 minutes he manages to call PCW and I “Stupid”, “Lazy” and lets us know our jobs are at risk. Ahhhhhh he’s on a roll.

After he’s done venting, he notices the time and says “looks like you missed lunch”. *sigh* …

That’s bad right? Oh wait … it gets better.

4:50pm (work day ends at 5:00 … or as I learned today, it doesn’t he just stops paying us then) …. He calls me and tells me he wants “ALL” the documentation that we’ve delivered to client XYZ … Great, I'm so happy he motivated me to work so hard. Yes, I stayed until it was all done.

Ya, I got out late, and now I’m going to have to stop on the way in to get additional information, for work, but you KNOW I’m going to be docked for it.

*sigh*

  1. I think what this individual requires is a punch to the grapes.

    Queensberry rules, of course...

    Perhaps that should be my new profession. I can just be a "grape puncher" for hire.

    Need to have your CEO, boss or idiot middle manager socked in the sac? Call on me! I can be there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No job is too big...no fee is too big! (No sac is too big!)

    Call now for price listing.

    *Multiple shots to groin extra. Female bosses have separate list!

    ;)
