61. I have no idea.
 He just called again, this morning, and gave me a date for my "execution."

I had to force the cops to take a report. Jeez.

I'm surprised she didn't ask for the hitman's number so she could call him, or maybe write to him.  Or maybe she just want to wait til he's in prison on death row to start up the relationship.

I'm not familiar with the heirarchy of job classifications in this DUmmy's industry. Can a waitress fire a busboy?

I was wondering that myself; what sort of job would Melanie have that allows her to fire people, rather than be fired?

When the dude set the execution date she should have appealed it or just told him it was cruel and unusual punishment.......or how about she just said, "That's just not a good time for me."

I can't believe she passed up the chance to say that it was a right wing fundie that she fired for proselytizing to customers.  Stupid DUmmie could have made an interesting bouncy out of it.

DUmmies do not make interesting bouncies.  Ever.  It's like they only have ONE page from a "Mad-Libs" book on the Island, and each one of the DUmbasses takes their turn filling in the same blanks in an attempt to one-up the LAST stupid bouncy.

You're right, interesting was the wrong word.  Amusing or laughable would have bee better. Now if she comes back with a failed attempt, then that could be real fun.

46. You're looking at it the wrong way.

You're seeing to it that a job gets done; that something that needs to be accomplished DOES get accomplished. After having been "bossed" around for years, you figure out that there's a better way to do it. You begin to see that your job as manager is not bossing people around, but helping people to grow in their abilities and their accomplishments; teaching them and encouraging them, and being the conduit for them so that they see that they CAN do things that they never thought that they could do before. Kindness is a part of being the boss. I don't think that you can be a good boss if you are not kind and respectful. To me, being a "boss" is being a teacher; getting the best from people that work for you. Bringing them UP, not down.

And, yes, sometimes you have to fire people. But, believe me, by the time that I fire someone, it's because they absolutely need to go. And, unless they threaten to have me killed, I usually try to find them another job. And, often do.

On edit, I forgot to tell you something: If you are the "boss" or the manager, you are in a unique position to be a very positive force in someone's life. It's an opportunity to do good things for your fellow man. That's the way I look at it.

People who look at being the boss as gaining power over others are the wrong people for the position. They usually don't hold the position for very long because they aren't good managers of people. And people are resources.

63. Yeah, we have an opening.

We're down in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, though.

We are covered up with business these days. I've opened THREE offices in three weeks. I don't even know how I did it; I just knew it needed to be done, and got it done. But, now, I'm exhausted.

And then there's this kind of shit to deal with. Good God.

51. He threatened to punch another girl in the office in the face.

And, lately, there's been MAJOR dissension in that office. I didn't know where it was coming from. There were two people involved. Constant upheaval. Always the same two people.

This guy was made a manager for a very short while at that office. And he did a shitty job. The power went straight to his head. After turning in one of the worst reports I've ever seen, instead of listening to me about how he could improve, he started telling me how I should change my way of doing business. To me, first you learn your job, and you learn to do it well, and THEN you can start trying to change things. You don't first **** everything up and then try to change things so that they fit your **** up. Anyway, I demoted him. He just couldn't handle the higher position.

After that, things started to go downhill in that office. He couldn't get along with the new manager and was always the center of a shitstorm. So....I listened and watched, for several months, and I finally found out what was going on. He was sabotaging my new manager. I caught him flat out, red-handed. Instead of admitting what he did, which might have bought him some more time, he lied and lied and lied about it. And, the topper was when he threatened to punch this girl in the face.

That was it for me.

77. Update: Now he's threatening to kill two of us.

Me, who he called this morning and gave me a date for my "execution," (it will be this Tuesday, for those of you who are interested) and the girl he earlier threatened to punch in the face, who he called this afternoon. He told her, on her voicemail, of all things, that she needs to move out of her apartment, because he knows where she lives and he's coming to kill her.

I don't feel so bad, now, about filing charges against this idiot.

Yeah, I kinda call bullshit at this point.  There's no "force", and there's no "report".  Someone makes a call like that, da po-po gonna come a callin.  It's called terroristic threatening, and in most states it's a felony.

Sparky is all so correct.

In the northern part of the country taking in the north west, we have all seen the news reports of fired people marching in to a factory and taking out a few people.

Remember Postal Rage >

One can work for 20 years next to another, socialise with them and when that person goes nuts, you of all people are the most surprised. 

The poster that claims to be in fear for her life is a nut case. She says she had to FORCE the police Department to document her complaint ????

Now to be politically inaccurate   [IF ] she worked in a very small town in Mississippi and the police Chief was the brother of the fired person-----Well, things do happen in tiny towns.   

We have no idea what town she comes from. if she is from Chicago. that's another story.
