Well last night at work I was able to read the email from my new employer (kinda funny isn't it?). They're willing to pay me $5000 more than I'm getting now!!! I'll get 10 paid holidays a year, 7 sick/personal days, and after my three month probation 2 weeks vacation, plus i'll earn another day for every year that I work there. After my ( Read more... )

As many of you know New Jersey's budget is officially fucked. Because of this there has been a government shutdown and all non-essential employees sent home.

So, this morning at work we had a "Mandatory All Employee Meeting". Basically it's a pep rally where management tells us how great the company is and all the wonderfully things we've got to look forward to. We have these once or twice a year. The funny thing is, they basically have to bribe the employees to show up. First off I went at 8:00 ( Read more... )

What’s wrong with the world that a person can’t do something nice for another person without being accused of sucking up, or even worse thought of as the other person’s “bitch”?
