The Dean Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Nope. THat's me. Unfortunately, it is still a family farm so any money I make now I reinvest to the farm vs. keep a chunk of it. As payment for working the farm my family pays some of my bills, etc. I specialize in logistics/supply chain and warehouse ops. I was lured to a small company trying to get to the next level but felt that company was not where they sold me they were. I had two guys that either never came to work or left early. One of them showed up high on an all night coke bender and ended up passing out on a forklift. I could not wake him, notified the owner who suspended him three days but dropped it down to 1 day because he showed remorse. It wasn't his first time nor his last. He disallowed me from further disciplinary action because the two specific employees were on their last legs and only needed one more write up; he did not want to fire them. I went to my quarterly review and he notified me he was unhappy with my teams performance and did not like the way work was not getting accomplished. I told him I was unhappy with his management in ownership style and after a very tense hour meeting we both agreed that I did not fit the company and his company did not fit me. It was !@#$ed up. Dude? Well you are better off not with the company, that much is clear. If your boss holds you responsible for the performance of the team, but you have no control over the team, you are in a no-win situation. Too bad you have to find a job while unemployed--that sucks. You have my sincerest sympathy. My guess is, you will end up in a far better position. Enjoy the time off while you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Ditto. This weekend is a vacation, next weekend looking for a new job. You too? Join the club. Project got killed last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Solar radiation is primarily charged particles, not photons. So they have mass, so they're slower than light. Thanks for this. Sorry to hear about both you and Boyst's job situation. I'm perpetually between jobs, we can form a touring singing tour if either of you can hold a tune. I just play the triangle, but I play it really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 And sorry to hear of your job situations jboyst and Tom. Thanks for this. Sorry to hear about both you and Boyst's job situation. Thanks, but the sympathy's unnecessary. I'm getting out of one of the most dysfunctional and dishonest environments I've ever seen or heard of. Seriously...the only time in my 18-year career I've been specifically told to lie to the client and falsify records. I didn't, which is one of the reasons the project is shelved. Overall, unemployment's less demeaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
