So, I gave my notice two days ago, and I'm counting down until next Friday. My former manager, who is the most ineffective and out-of-touch boss I've EVER had, got promoted in October and I've had a new manager since then. My new manager, recognizing that my former boss never gave me any training nor feedback (although I consistently asked for it), did her best to involve me in getting training, giving me feedback, meeting with me to go over my goals for the upcoming year, etc. I don't trust her one bit, but, I recognize that she has tried. Last week while I was "on vacation" the others in my department had to cover for me. My current boss now understands just how much I do around here and I was told she was a "basket case" while I was out. When I gave my notice, she put on her best face to congratulate me, but I know it was NOT what she wanted to hear. She told another member of my department, "L just gave her notice. We are FUCKED." (This made me smile!!!)
Anyhoo, my boss had to notify my former boss that I'm leaving (he is still HER boss). Yesterday, they discussed how they're going to handle getting the work done. Mr. Dumbass said that he just figured that he'd send his administrative assistant down to this department "for about an hour a day to tidy up." So...this is what I've been doing here for 17 months...tidying up. For an hour a day.
Someone, please hold me back.
I have to bite my tongue for eight more days. I just want all the pay that I have coming. God help that a-hole if he comes to talk to me. Arrrrrgh!!
I need to post a cute picture...need to lower my blood pressure right now. So, here's my kitty Jiro. Cat and mouse.
Thanks to It's Come To This...for mentioning this game to me! Check out Bullshit Bingo for a good laugh.
I just got out of a department meeting. I tried to get our Assistant General Counsel to admit that our company is outsourcing work to India. Apparently we tried to purchase an Indian company but they wouldn't go for it. So instead, we're opening an Indian entity. I (innocently) asked, "So, we're outsourcing work to India?" to which Dumb-Ass replied, "Well, no, they'll be OUR employees." I (again, innocently) responded, "But they'll all be Indian employees, right?" He stumbled over some stupid response about "to my knowledge they will be." So, Dumb-Ass, we're outsourcing work.
Oh, I'm SO over this...
