Weasel Of Doom

Somebody I liked a lot was fired last week. Oh, the official line is that he resigned, but that’s total bullshit, seeing as we all know his manager was out to get him. And now the lying about it will begin. And the worst thing is that we have nobody to go to, and noone will tell us the truth about what is going on.

Our current leadership has their head shoved up their collective ass. Tunnel vision redefined. We are facing a budget shortfall, for a third year in a row. So, to save money, they decided to cut our benefits (starting next year, I will pay $2,000 more for insurance. And max out of pocket is going up by $3,000. 401-k matching has been reduced to 3%). To save a measly $200,000 a year. We have a budget of over $20,000,000 a year. The increase from this year to next is almost $2,000,000. You do the math. So now we are paid below industry wage and our benefits suck. Wonder how many people have started to look for new jobs.

Plus, I am horribly behind on everything. And it is getting harder and harder to even pretend that I care. I think my new approach is going to be “Tying up all loose ends as if I am leaving.” God knows, I should probably start looking. *sigh*

And on this note, may I recommend Despair.com for all your demotivator needs? If only they made a t-shirt with “The floggings will continue until morale improves.” I would go into debt to get them for everybody at work.
