“...It’s Time to Leave Your Job...”
-
and go . . . where?
Was this written by somebody who was hoping to fill one of the vacancies? Or maybe who has a kid looking for a job in finance?
Ooooobama welfarrre or ifnfinitum UNemployment!
I want to leave mindless job of endless, payless interviews and get paid to do mind numbing tasks!
1. Your keycard no longer works.
2. Your corporate email is not working.
3. Your nameplate is missing from your office.
4. The receptionist immediately picks up of the phone when you arrive to work and talks in hush tones.
5. Your coworkers keep asking “Are you still here, I heard a rumor that-”
When I worked for one bad boss, I got sick quite a bit. The relief was leaving him for a different position. If vacation time was approved, the approval never came until a couple of days before and no earlier ! A year after I left him, I took three weeks to New Zealand. The last month working for him got very bad where if I left my desk for more than several minutes, I had to let him know where I going and doing !
> 4. You’re starting to get stomach cramps, among other psychosomatic afflictions.
>Hayes attributes a lot of his work tension to micromanagement — what he calls “being treated like a child,”
If you're young, working finance is just the thing to get you a nice nest-egg for what you'll do next.
“Your coworkers keep asking “Are you still here, I heard a rumor that-”
LOL! That was how I found out I got laid off! I went into my manager’s office and asked him if it was true. (Yes). And why didn’t he tell me himself instead of me hearing it from the grapevine.
That was 15 years ago, and even then realized it was one of the better days of my life! (Now have my own business.)
Since I retired 18 mos ago my health is awesome.
I sleep like a baby, blood pressure is down, stiff neck I always had is gone.
I think a lot of business leaders who make a fortune off of the capitalist, free-market system are closet-socialists.
When there is a boom, they play it, take on extra workers, pump their numbers to get the stock investments. When the bubble bursts, they use that to get rid of workers, pile up the work that needs to be done on those that they don’t get rid of, and profit off of that.
When the government so effs up an economy as is currently happening from Pres. Bush’s socialism-lite and Obammie the Commie’s communist strategy for destroying the US dollar and the US economy, I don’t think they mind. They cut their workforce back to a skeleton crew and tell their workers, “Look at the unemployment rate. If you don’t do what we demand of you, there are ten waiting in line to take your spot.”
The latest economic reports showed how high productivity has remained even though unemployment is climbing. That means only one thing: squeezing more blood from the stone.
The bad news is that even war-time productivity increases can only last for a few years. Eventually people burn out from working in overdrive all the time and the sense of sacrifice for the bad times wears off.
They are doing everything they can to make the economy look good up to the midterms.
Next year is when all of the major $hit is going to hit the fan.
“Former Goldman Sachs banker Antonio Garcia-Martinez makes an eloquent argument for why you shouldn’t work just for the big January bonus check.”
“Yeah,” Antonio said, “If you hang in there long enough, and if the government whose takeover you helped to finance considers you Too Big To Fail, you may get a REALLY HUGE bonus, COMPLIMENTS OF THE US TAXPAYER.”
Honest to G*d. You can’t make up the arrogance of these greedy bastards.
You arrive at work on Monday morning and your office is gone.
You arrive at work and find the site padlocked.
The lawyers have been waiting for you to arrive. And you weren’t expecting them.
Bobo will see your 10 and raise you 100 -- I think when we got as near as you're ever going to get to full employment (late Bubba-barely early Bush although the tech bubble had burst by the latter ... employment lags, you get what I mean) ie, you're 'pushing a string' at that point to get the unwilling to take the jobs available (and who couldn't get a job in 2000?).
There was a de facto collusion by the multinationals at that point to never allow that scenario to happen again. Because multinationals hate American labor. Multinationals love Chinese labor (or they did -- and a Dragon's peripheral vision ain't so great).
Who paid for Bobo's $740.6 million campaign?
***Since I retired 18 mos ago my health is awesome.

Same here! Thirty one years of working rotating shifts!Real killers! Only three people retired at my plant. The others had to take permanent medical leave or fell over dead on the job.
I was one of those three who retired. It took me six months to catch up on thirty one years of lost sleep!
The secretary, er - the administrative assistant, you have been hitting on is threatening to file an harassment complaint.
Your new boss is gay.
The office betting pool is run by a shark.
The company bowling team sucks.
Office parties are held at a church.
Just a few truly legitimate reasons to be looking elsewhere.
