“evil,vile,and horrid”
Boy, that about sums up everything we can say about the Dems and their friends.
Those who complain of capitalism have never seen a communist society up close and personal.
And look at all the thriving communes in the US!
What does she have to worry about, I thought the great and wonderful O was going to pay for everything.
Her husband’s a reporter, so I take it they work for a newspaper or a TV station. That would mean her managers are liberal (oops... progressive) sorts of folks.
Actually, it may well be.
Large corporations have moved to the 'Rat side of the aisle.
Many of the mega-corps support Obama.
It's small and medium-sized businesses who are more conservative.
Of course in a capitalist system, you can have crummy employers as well as crummy employees.
The best part is, you can leave when you want! And look for another job. Like you did, although it was not easy.
The woman writing this diary was warned layoffs were coming. Were I her I would have started looking for work immediately. Maybe she did, but she doesn’t mention it.
If she found a better or even equivalent job, she should have quit job number one. That’s one less person they have to ‘lay off.’
I have sympathy for anyone who gets fired, unless they really asked for it. But I think she needed to be more proactive, like you were.
I believe you, but it would seem to be a self-limiting problem. Idiots like you encountered may look good on paper for awhile, but good staff leaves and the "product" suffers. I would hope, then, that the business folds or the managers wise up. Do they? Or does everyone limp along just being morons?
Or, you can start a business and work for yourself.
If what she says about her husband’s treatment is true, they have one heck of a lawsuit under the American’s with Disabilities Act. I doubt a newspaper would be so stupid.
I'm sorry her husband has diabetes though.
Hmmm... you THINK(guess) it was because of his illness... but you automaticaly, label them as lying, “heinous people”. This type of convoluted thought process explains the weak-minded verdicts emanating from our courts today.
But then she’d have a fool for a boss.
I don’t know why these people who complain about their employer being the worst organization in the world to work for/at, aren’t happy to be leaving for a better job. It’s like Woody Allen’s joke about the diner complaining about how terrible the food is at that restaurant — “and such small portions.”
That’s the whole thing about freedom and choice in a society — one is free to get into a better deal and arrangement. Leave the bad employers for those just starting out and don’t know any better.
Nobody is “entitled” to Heaven of Earth just by demanding it — or having somebody promise it to them before the election, and then once that is over, doing the same old things as the “Change” they promised.
Some people are just meant to be used and abused all their lives because they think that is all they deserve.
I agree. My wife, a former data analyst, has run into it in a couple of jobs over the years.
Resentment is rarely, if ever, a useful or healthy emotion.
Unless there is a "no compete" agreement in place and the former employer chooses to enforce it. My wife, referenced on my previous post on this thread, was laid off from her job as a data analyst when her firm closed its local office, which was grossly mismanaged and quite dysfunctional because of a poor selection of an office manager by corproate headquarters.
In her notification letter, her employer told her that even though she was being laid off, they were going to hold her to her no compete agreement and that she could not find new employment with any of the company's competitors or clients. Needless to say, this left her without any options, other than break the agreement and risk a lawsuit, or go into business for herself in another career field. She did the latter, but we took a big hit on our income because of it.
I keep that letter on file, and every time I read it, I get pissed off all over again.
Which means that the company alleges that he was fired "for cause". I cannot believe any company would have the stones to fire someone because of a health related issue and then try to block an unemployment claim. Where I work, when someone is fired, unless his or her behavior is especially egregious, they don't contest unemployment claims.
The gross psychopathology of the Kos posters is not discretely encapsulated.
Some hate-filled, deluded mental defectives cannot POSSIBLY be competent employees.
Maybe they can get a job in the Odministration and let the govt. take care of them?
Why is it that nearly every Dem who loses a job has a loved one who is sick and near death?
Why is working on weekends more grueling for a reporter with kidney failure than, say, working on Tuesday and Wednesday? I’m honestly not trying to be flippant, but if you have a chronic illness, why is one day worse than another?
