Thread Drift

[indysteel]

On a different note, this morning's spammers sure dug up some old threads in which to post. I don't get that part of their MO.

I think they do a search on anything that might be vaguely related to their product and post in those threads. I didn't read the spam and I don't even remember what today's threads were, but there's usually a common theme.



Marni, how are you doing - if you don't mind my asking?

I'm so angry I'm shaking.

The bosses have treated my honey like a piece of garbage for the last four and half years. She's worked her *** off to fix a broken division, all forms of measurement attest to her success, but the people who run this place are so threatened by someone accomplishing what they couldn't, that they just crap on her at every opportunity.

Her last day is next Wednesday and not one of them has done the professional courtesy of wishing her well in her new job; they won't even send out the usual general announcement that someone is leaving so co-workers can stop by and wish her well.

I really loathe these ignorant sub humans... and I have to keep working here with them. Hope I can keep my mouth shut.

I'm so sorry, Pax. It's very sad when ego and insecurity get in the way of being a decent human being.

It is, she has worked 60-70 hour weeks all these years, trying to do what's right... only to be denied basic human decency as she leaves.

I'm trying really hard not to go postal right now.

I didn't realize until this discussion that you both work for the same employer. Remind me again of your current retirement plan. Is there a day in the near terms when you'll feel free to tell all these people off? Do you work with/for these same people?

Give your honey (and yourself) a hug from us. As my post from yesterday about my old job indicates, I appreciate how hard it is to leave a job with a bitter taste in your mouth. At the time, I tried really hard not to burn any bridges, but boy do you I wish I'd had an opportunity to tell some people off.

We work in the same unit at the university library, she is leaving to work across town for the state library consortium.

I'm vested as of two days ago but need to wait 3.5 more years to draw a pension (age 55). Then I can truly enjoy my exit interview... until then I think I'll start moving away from skipping all my breaks and lunches and start availing myself of the benefits to being a civil servant.


ETA - thanks for the hugs, the anger is slowly turning to sadness. They hurt my beloved.
