Hello all!
So I’m cruising along doing payroll and everything’s fine….then, before I leave last night I stop by my supervisor’s desk for some reason when I see on her desk…dumdumdummmm….my paycheck, opened.
Darnit. Despite my fervent hopes to the contrary, they decided to go through with the paycut. $2k/year less to be exact. Supposedly I’ll get re-evaluated in 60 or 90 days or something and maybe will get that moola back. What upsets me is that the paycut didn’t really transition but the job has.
Sitting in my mental list of things to do includes many, many benefits related things (including workers comp bills, November 2004 bills, random drug screening) that I at least THINK I’m still responsible for. Well, sometimes you have to say fuck it, and thusly I declare….
FUCK IT.
(oh, hello, bosses of my blog’s readers. Lovely weather, yes?)
I don’t know why any of this is a surprise — the pay cut isn’t, the transition BS isn’t. They are interviewing someone for the old position Monday (the owner’s cleaning lady’s niece) so I sure hope that works out. But I really hoped that if I plugged along doing the benefits stuff until they found a new person — played the game, you know? — that they’d delay it until they found someone new. I’m very hurt and I don’t think I have a justifiable reason to feel that way.
Today I’m wearing one of my Employee Thank You Day shirts, the one that declares “Together Everyone Achieves More.” Or $2000 less. One or the other, yeah?
Time to go to work, but first let me make a prediction: Gene will be soooo pissed.
actually…before I go to work, let me post a red-faced rant: At my company, our IT department is made up of two people: one guy whose wife dragged his ass back to FL and then dumped his crazy ass (smart move!), but he still works in FL, visits the office whenever he feels like it (1 week or so every few months, usually to coincide with something big) and HAS A COMPANY CAR BUT FLIES HERE WHEN HE VISITS. The other guy “Works from Home” a lot and you can never, ever get him to help you without a lot of historionics. In his case, I think “Works from home” equals “Can’t Afford Gas Today”. Ugh. In the accounting department, we have two temps and an actual salaried individual who spend their days on the phone and/or internet.
But I get my hand slapped, job title changed, office removed and PAY CUT for doing a little websurfing. Jesus tapdancing Christ…some people could take an actual crap on the CFO’s head and get a RAISE. WTF?? I am clearly not devoting enough time to kissing **** ******’s ass.
Have a nice day 🙂
Well said I say….
