Open letter to commentors

This is free market capitalism writing you, it’s too bad that you don’t like the way that companies are allowed to be run by rich corporate fatcats. In the future should you have any complaints or comments please write them down on a legal sized peice of paper, ball them up, and shove it up your ass. Unless you are rich no CEO or politician will ever listen to your hardship story, so frankly we don’t care. For Future reference if you would like to make changes to the way things are run, please start a revolution, because voting will never change anything.

My best friend could tell you the worst. She was made employee of the month for the last 3 months, had the highest numbers in the company and whenever they asked her to come in on her day off or work late she was there only to be told yesterday she was fired for not doing her job. Did I mention this was right after they told her she couldn’t have the two week vacation for her honeymoon even though she put in the request 6 months ago and has already paid for the tickets to Jamaca. Real nice company grrrr

I’ll give you #11: You’re the kitchen manager of any national chain restaurant.

Definitely agree with all of these!

A little sad that “You send a racist ‘joke’ around to everyone in the company telling them it’s hilarious. When people realize it’s not and demand an apology, instead of complying, you express your sadness that people misinterpreted your message as racist, since you’re totally not” didn’t make the list, but meh. :P

#1 is somewhat familiar to me. The fax machine at my work was quite central to us sales staff. The owner used to get his personal faxes through the same machine. It was always great to see his $100,000 kitchen floor quote and other exotic home renovations come through the machine when we were experiencing slow sales. No one could afford to drive to work, but he’s got his Porsche right infront of the entrance. I could go on and on about the douche, but let’s just say it all ended with a sexual harassment charge – haha!

11. Call your employee into your office on a Thursday, tell them what a great job they are doing, inform them of a bonus. Also inform them they have won ‘Top Performer’ of the quarter recognition, with an additional bonus. Plan to meet with that employee later next week to set goals for coming quarter… then send that employee and their whole division out the door, cardboard box(es) in hand the following Tuesday. (Personal experience!)

I think #3 was a Steve Ballmer policy at Microsoft. I didn’t work there, but I heard he even made Gates fly Coach.
