Stupid Bosses

September 22, 2006

the other day my stupid boss put an envelope in my mailbox at work. it contained pay increases for 2 others in my workplace – one whom i supervise – one whom i supervise but am not responsible for. i never should have seen #2’s salary – i trained him, i cultivated him into what he is today – he came to our staff as a young, “careless” guy…my stupid boss used to rip on him (on me for his actions) he is now working in another dept and – now all of a sudden he walks on water – mr new, careless guy’s (newer than me and all the others)… salary is so close to mine it’s sick…i’ve been with the company for 12+ years – given it my heart and soul…by the looks of it they’re trying to tell me something – obviously they don’t appreciate my committment….shame on them! shame on me for not “getting the message….”

he deserves good pay – but so do i !!!

For two years now I have been working in the offices of a cleaning company.

The two directors are married and met about twelve years ago. He used to be a director of another company and she used to be the cleaner!

Cut a long story short, they got together and started up their own company.

He wants to build an empire whilst she is quite happy to keep things small and do the odd cleaning job.

So, the two directors seem to be pulling in two different directions, which makes their marital life quite eventful!

He loves women – although women don’t love him. She is extremely possessive and jealous.

I get caught in the middle of their slanging matches and they often run each other down to me. The professionalism, or lack of it, is beyond believe. I want to scream DIVORCE at them both! Up to now I have managed to keep my opinions to myself and just nod in a sympathetic way whenever they wish to vent their frustrations.

I am an attractive girl so I have to put up with suspicious eye balling from the woman and even received a phone call at home around 10pm one night – her husband had gone out on his motorbike and she thought he was with me!!!!! The thought makes my stomach churn!

Moral of the story: DO NOT WORK FOR A MARRIED COUPLE!

Kidnappers who abducted Gildo dos Santos near his factory in a suburb of Sao Paulo, Brazil, demanded $690,000, but Santos escaped. The next day, Santos got a phone call asking for $11,500 to defray the cost of the abduction. After negotiating a discount of 50 percent, Santos called police, who were waiting when Luiz Carlos Valerio showed up to collect payment.

Tech Support: “All right…now double-click on the File Manager icon.”

Customer: “That’s why I hate this Windows — because of the icons — I’m a Protestant, and I don’t believe in icons.”

Tech Support: “Well, that’s just an industry term sir. I don’t believe it was meant to –”

Customer: “I don’t care about any ‘Industry Terms’. I don’t believe in icons.”

Tech Support: “Well…why don’t you click on the ‘little picture’ of a file cabinet…is ‘little picture’ ok?”
